As all the centurions in New Testament, so [[Julia]] was an estimable character. He "courteously gave Paul liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself."

<p> (Ἰουλία, | <p> (Ἰουλία, Romans 16:15, a [[Latin]] name, the feminine form of [[Julius]] [the name of a famous [[Roman]] gens]. Both of these were extremely common names. The name [[Julia]] is very frequently found as a name of female slaves belonging to the Imperial household) </p> <p> A woman saluted by St. [[Paul]] and coupled with Philologus. They may have been brother and sister, or more probably husband and wife. Other couples saluted in Romans 16 are [[Aquila]] and [[Prisca]] (Romans 16:3, the order being, however, ‘Prisca and Aquila’), perhaps [[Andronicus]] and [[Junia]] (Romans 16:7; see Junias), and [[Nereus]] and his sister (Romans 16:15). It has been conjectured that the names in this verse are those of persons forming a [[Christian]] family with a household church (καὶ τοὺς σὺν αὐτοῖς πάντας ἁγίους). If this be so, [[Philologus]] and Julia were perhaps the parents of Nereus and his sister (Nerias) and Olympas, and the leaders of the little community which gathered for worship at their home (cf. Romans 16:3, where a married couple are saluted as ‘fellow-labourers’ with the Apostle, and the salutation includes ‘the church which assembles at their house’). The locality to which we assign this circle of [[Christians]] will depend upon our view of the destination of Romans 16:3-20. Nothing further is known of any of these persons. </p> <p> T. B. Allworthy. </p> | ||
