[Sung Psalm: 129] In verses 3-16, then Paul says to "greet" someone sixteen times. It would be easy to skim over this as just another list of names. When John Chrysostom came to the end of the book of Romans, he said: "I think that many even of those who have the appearance of being extremely good men, hasten over this part of the Epistle as superfluous, and having no great weight in it...For because it is a catalogue of names, they think they cannot get any great good from it. Yet the gold founders' people are careful even about the little fragments; while these pass over even such great cakes of gold...For it is possible even from bare names to find a great treasure." Chrysostom was right. There are truly great treasures in this passage!
