He salutes several women as well as men: you read before of Priscilla, Romans 16:3; of Mary, Romans 16:6; 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 Romans 16:6. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord; he gives this woman a higher commendation, calling her the beloved Persis; see Romans 16:8. He saith of the other two, that they laboured; but of this, that she hath laboured much in the Lord, noting some special favour or service for which she is here commended.
