保罗在罗马书的结尾总共向27人问安，其中有9位是女性。这9位女性中，有6位被形容为「同工」或「为主劳苦」的。她们当中有女执事非比，她一向帮助许多人，也帮助保罗。曾经与保罗一起同工的百基拉，她愿意为保罗的性命把自己的生死置之度外，又在家中设立教会。还有为主非常辛劳的其她女性。

耶稣出来传道的时期，就有一群妇女跟随耶稣，她们用自己的财物供应耶稣与门徒传福音的需要；当耶稣受难时，耶稣的门徒四处躲藏，但这群妇女对耶稣不离不弃，跟随祂直到十字架下面；。

女性在初代教会担任事奉的重要角色，的确值得称许和表扬。现今的教会中，女性的事奉同样杰出。她们的爱心、坚忍、顺服、劳苦，成为所有事奉者的榜样。

还记得吗？耶稣复活后，第一位见到复活之主的正是女性。殷勤事奉主的人不会徒然劳苦，因为她（他）们会得到耶稣特别的「礼遇」。

At the end of the book of Romans, Paul greeted a total of 27 people, of whom 9 were women. Among these 9 women, 6 were described as "co-workers" or "worked hard in the Lord". Among them was the deaconess Phoebe, who had helped many people, including Paul. Priscilla, who worked with Paul, was willing to risk her own life for Paul's and even established a church in her home. There were also other women who had worked extremely hard for the Lord.

During Jesus' ministry, there was a group of women who followed Him and supported Him and His disciples with their own resources. When Jesus was crucified, His disciples went into hiding, but these women did not abandon Him and stayed with Him until He was on the cross.

The important role that women played in serving in the early church deserves praise and recognition. Today, women's service in the church is also outstanding. Their love, perseverance, obedience, and hard work serve as examples to all who serve.

Do you remember? The first person to see the risen Lord after His resurrection was a woman. Those who serve the Lord diligently will not labour in vain, for they will receive Jesus' special favour.
