Romans 16
INTRODUCTION: The day has come when someone can look at your cell phone and tell virtually everything about you.
-Is it just a phone or is it also a mini computer?
-Is it designed for talking or texting?
-How many mega-pixels is the cam? Are you on Instagram?
-It is the newest version of the best phone available or is it dated? Are you tech savvy?

-And there are 27 people Paul identifies by name in Rome.
-Twenty are men
-Seven are women. Which by the way, you can't find another single peice of ancient literature that mentions as many women in a positive note as this chapter does.
