Contextual Overview

1 I am recommending to y'all a cowgirl named Phoebe. She is instrumental in the church in Cenchreae. 2Treat her like you would me. Help with whatever she may need. She's done the same for me many times over. 3Say hello to Priscilla and Aquila for me. I consider both of them my pards in riding for the Lord. 4They've put their necks on the line for me more than once. Every church filled with outsiders knows of them and how thankful I am for them both. 5Say hello to all who meet at their house to learn about the Lord.Give a shout out to my friend Epenetus. He was the first Outsider I gathered in the province of Asia. 6Give a hug for me to Mary who has done so much for all of us. 7Also do the same for Andronicus and Junia. They are Jews who spent time in jail with me. They came to Christ before I did and are much respected with the Apostles. 8I don't want to forget Ampliatus. He is a true friend in Christ. 9Tell Urbanus, a hand for the brand, I said hello, also, to my friend Stachys. 10Greet Apelles, a good hand who Jesus is proud of. Give my greetings to all the cowboys and cowgirls staying with Aristobulus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. This was a Roman name; the Vulgate Latin reads "Ampliatus", and so do the Alexandrian copy, and the Ethiopic version: some call him "Amphias", and "Amphiatus", and say, but whether on good authority I will not affirm, that this man was bishop of Odyssus; but be he who he will, the apostle had a singular affection for him; and that not upon any external account, as natural relation, riches, honour, learning, c. but for the Lord's sake, and as he was in Christ, a member of him, and so in a spiritual relation to the apostle a "brother" of his, as the Ethiopic version here calls him; and because he was honoured with the gifts and graces of the Spirit, and for his usefulness in the Gospel of Christ Jesus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Romans 16:8. Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. — One who is my particular friend, and also a genuine Christian.
