Phoebe

also known as: Phebe

She was a “deaconess of the church at Cenchrea,” the port of Corinth (Acts 18).

She was probably the bearer of Paul’s epistle to the Romans.

Paul commended her to the Christians at Rome.

I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also. —Romans 16:1-2 NKJV
