TSNTyndale Study Notes:

16:1-16 Paul here commended and greeted twenty-seven Roman Christians, ten of whom were women. Women played important roles in the early church.
• Paul had never been to Rome, which has led to some speculation as to how he knew so many people there. One theory is that ch 16 was actually part of another letter that Paul sent to Ephesus. However, we have no good manuscript evidence for a separate letter (cp. study note on 15:33). Perhaps the answer is that Paul was able to greet so many people in Rome because he had encountered them during their travels away from Rome (see Romans Book Introduction, “Setting”).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

οἵτινες ὑπὲρ τῆς ψυχῆς μου, τὸν ἑαυτῶν τράχηλον ὑπέθηκαν, οἷς οὐκ ἐγὼ μόνος εὐχαριστῶ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τῶν ἐθνῶν

who for the life ˱of˲_me the ˱of˲_themselves neck laid_down ˱to˲_whom not I only /am/_giving_thanks but also all the assemblies ˱of˲_the pagans

This verse interrupts the main part of the sentence in 16:3–5 in order to give further information about Prisca and Aquila. If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this verse as its own sentence and repeat the main verb of the previous verse in the next verse, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸν ἑαυτῶν τράχηλον ὑπέθηκαν

the ˱of˲_themselves neck laid_down

This phrase refers to doing something that would put someone in danger of being executed. Romans often executed people by chopping their heads off at the neck with an axe. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [risked having their heads chopped off by the Roman authorities]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐγὼ & εὐχαριστῶ

I & /am/_giving_thanks

Here Paul speaks of expressing thanks as if they were something that he could give to someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am thankful]
