Romanos 16

Jerome · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Romanos 16:14

Hermas whom the apostle Paul mentions in writing to the Romans "Salute Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren that are with them" is reputed to be the author of the book which is called Pastor and which is also read publicly in some churches of Greece. It is in fact a useful book and many of the ancient writers quote from it as authority, but among the Latins it is almost unknown. — De Viris Illustribus (On Illustrious Men), Section 10

Romanos 16:18

Flattery is always insidious, deceitful and bland. And a flatterer is well defined by philosophers as a bland enemy. Truth is harsh, bitter, stern, unpleasant and offensive to those who are reproved. — Against the Pelagians 1.26

Romanos 16:27

God alone is wise, although both Solomon and many other holy men were called wise. — Against the Pelagians 2.7
