‏ Romans 16:23

v. 23: Gaius also sends greetings. Paul calls him “my host,” and says he is also host to the whole church. Gaius was known for his hospitality, opening his home for church meetings and welcoming Christian visitors. Paul also mentions Erastus, who was the city’s chamberlain or treasurer—an important official in Corinth. Even though he had a high position, Erastus still served the church and is mentioned working with Paul elsewhere (Acts 19:22; 2 Timothy 4:20 a). Quartus is also greeted and is called simply “a brother,” showing that all believers are part of God’s family, no matter their role or position.
