Romans 16:2

[Toasty]

In Romans 16:2, Paul says to receive Phoebe in the Lord? What does it mean to receive someone in the Lord?

 

[greenbaggins]

Most commentators believe that Phoebe was carrying the letter to Rome, and that Paul was requesting hospitality for her as the carrier of the letter.

What is meant by "in the Lord" in that verse?

 

[Cymro]

Receive her as you would receive Christ.The Christ in her, received by the
Christ in you. As she is in union with Christ, and you likewise, then recognise
your unity by providing with unconditional acceptance.

Thank you. That makes sense.

Just had private worship and my reading was in 1Peter4.
I think v9-10 will answer your question biblically, Henry.
