羅馬書第十六章第1—2節,保羅向羅馬的弟兄姐妹們舉薦了一個叫非比的女執事。她素來愛幫助人,也幫助了保羅。保羅叮囑羅馬的弟兄姐妹們以合乎聖徒的體統的方式,在主裏接待她。這裏合乎聖徒的體統意思是說要以聖徒在耶穌基督裏應有的愛心和行動來接待非比,她在何事上需要幫助,就幫助她。
羅16:1 我對你們舉薦我們的姊妹非比、他是堅革哩教會中的女執事.
I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,
羅16:2 請你們為主接待他、合乎聖徒的體統.他在何事上、要你們幫助、你們就幫助他.因他素來幫助許多人、也幫助了我。
that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
