To the only wise god be glory

Paul’s three missionary journeys and over 10,000 miles of travel took him to important cities in the Roman Empire—Jerusalem, Antioch, Athens, Corinth, and Ephesus, among others. In these cities, he met many Christians whose business and travels brought them to Rome—the heart of the empire. Although Paul had not visited Rome before writing his letter to the church there, he knew people living in Rome and mentioned many of them as he concluded his letter. Twenty-six individuals are named, along with references to several others. I’ll let you read through the full list on your own. Let me highlight a few people.
