I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. Romans 16:19
Often we think about Paul as a tremendous theologian, but his motivation is really driven by love and it's shown in this last chapter. Kent Hughes writes, "The first characteristic of Paul's heart described in this chapter is that it overflowed with personal love. If the long list of names and greetings in these verses teaches us anything, it is that Paul had a diffusive love for people. The word "greet" appears nineteen times, and seventeen of them are by Paul. Our text features thirty-three names. Twenty-four were in Rome (seventeen men and seven women). In addition, the apostle mentions two households, the mother of Rufus, and the sister of Nereus. Nine of the people mentioned were with Paul in Corinth (eight men and one woman). Obviously Paul maintained a remarkable amount of affectionate relationships."
