Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. (Romans 16:12a ESV)
In this conclusion to his letter to the Roman church, Paul gives a long list of greetings for those with whom he had had the privilege to labor together for the Lord. Nestled in the middle of this list are these two women, possibly twins or sisters, who had been co-workers for Christ along the way.
Besides always wanting to name twin daughters these names if we ever had any (though not approved by my wife...) this pair has always stuck out to me from the list. Such are the two young ladies who we will hear from this week. I have had the privilege of serving with both of them on short-term stateside missions trips, and have seen them work together, going as far as Bangladesh in serving Christ. Besides both being very courageous, they are team players- willing to go anywhere, do anything, and work with anyone for the cause of Christ. If we only had many more such twins!
