“….and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you…” (Romans 16:2b).
Paul did not accompany Phoebe on her long journey. She perhaps had some personal business to attend to after she delivered the letter to the saints at Rome. Paul asked them to help her any way they could. Here she was, a woman in a strange place. She would need help. Paul adds how much help she has been to others. It was her turn now to receive help. It wasn’t just Paul needing them to do him a favor, but in helping her, they were giving as unto Christ.
