Notes
Timothy was one of Paul’s closest coworkers in ministry. He traveled with Paul on the second missionary journey (Acts 16:2–3). Timothy was also with Paul in Corinth when Paul wrote this letter to the church in Rome (see Acts 20:2–4).
This final section includes elements often found at the end of New Testament letters:
a discussion of travel plans (15:14–29),
requests for prayer (15:30–33),
greetings (16:3–16), and
a short hymn of praise (16:25–27).
Only the warning about false teachers is a non-standard feature in this conclusion (16:17–19).
