Paul catalogs a long list of saints in his parting comments in Romans 16. It is touching to hear his respect for many listed by name, and his warning about those he considers enemies of the Lord’s work.

The scripture says honor those that fear the Lord, and markedly avoid those who cause division.

PRAYER: Father, because of Your great love to each of us, give us an encouraging love for one another. We honor those who serve You from a pure heart.
