Family of God; Paul worked in a team of like-minded Christ followers.

Paul has so many brothers and sisters in the Lord; the family of God in Romans 16:1-16.

Romans 16:1-16
[1]I recommend to you our sister Phoebe, who serves the church at Cenchreae.
[2]Receive her in the Lord’s name, as God’s people should, and give her any help she may need from you; for she herself has been a good friend to many people and also to me.
[3]I send greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow-workers in the service of Christ Jesus;
[4]they risked their lives for me. I am grateful to them — not only I, but all the Gentile churches as well.
[5]Greetings also to the church that meets in their house.Greetings to my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first in the province of Asia to believe in Christ.
[6]Greetings to Mary, who has worked so hard for you.
[7]Greetings also to Andronicus and Junia, fellow-Jews who were in prison with me; they are well known among the apostles, and they became Christians before I did.
[8]My greetings to Ampliatus, my dear friend in the fellowship of the Lord.
[9]Greetings also to Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Christ’s service, and to Stachys, my dear friend.

[11]Greetings to Herodion, a fellow-Jew, and to the Christians in the family of Narcissus.
[12]My greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who work in the Lord’s service, and to my dear friend Persis, who has done so much work for the Lord.
[13]I send greetings to Rufus, that outstanding worker in the Lord’s service, and to his mother, who has always treated me like a son.
[14]My greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the other Christian brothers and sisters with them.
[15]Greetings to Philologus and Julia, to Nereus and his sister, to Olympas and to all of God’s people who are with them.
