12. Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord--two active
women.
Salute the beloved Persis--another woman.
which laboured much in the Lord--referring probably, not to official
services, such as would fall to the deaconesses, but to such higher
Christian labors--yet within the sphere competent to woman--as Priscilla
bestowed on Apollos and others
(Ac 18:18).
