Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 16:23

_ _ Gaius mine host, and — the host

_ _ of the whole church — (See Acts 20:4). It would appear that he was one of only two persons whom Paul baptized with his own hand (compare 3 John 1:1). His Christian hospitality appears to have been something uncommon.

_ _ Erastus the chamberlain — “treasurer.”

_ _ of the city — doubtless of Corinth. (See Acts 19:22; 2 Timothy 4:20).

_ _ and Quartus a brother — rather, “the” or “our brother”; as Sosthenes and Timothy are called (1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1, Greek). Nothing more is known of this Quartus.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 16:21-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 16:23

The chamberlain of the city — Of Corinth.
