Paul knew the women who labored in ministry and sent greetings to each one. They were not silently sitting in a corner but actively participating in the work of the Lord and Paul memorialized them in this letter to the Romans. Truly Paul meant what he said when he declared in Galatians 3:28, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” (KJV). Women often outnumber men in churches today and continue to work hard “in the Lord,” regardless of their receipt of earthly recognition.
