I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
Hey, it's Tertius here, I'm the one who actually wrote this letter down for Paul. Just wanted to say hi and send you love in Jesus' name.
Even the person taking notes wanted to say hey, you matter to everyone in God's family.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul often dictated his letters to scribes because writing was a laborious process and he was frequently traveling for his missionary work. Tertius, as the scribe for the Epistle to the Romans, physically wrote down Paul's words and added this personal greeting at the end, revealing the behind-the-scenes collaboration in early Christian communication. This practice highlights the essential role of assistants in spreading the Gospel during a time when literacy and resources were limited.
