Romans16:12

12. Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord . Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord .

He Salutes several Women, as well as Men: You read before of Priscilla, v. 3. Of Mary, v. 6. And now he adds three more in this Verse. He saith of the Two First, that they Laboured in the Lord, i. e. In the service of Christ, and his Church, according to their Place and Power. See the Notes on v. 6.

He gives this Woman a higher Commendations, Calling her the beloved Persis, Vid. v. 8. He saith of the other two, That they Laboured; but of this, that she hath laboured much in the Lord; noting some special Labour or Service for which she is here Commended.
