“Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.”
Greet Andronicus and Junias, my fellow Jews and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. — Andronicos (Andronicus) and Iounian (Junia, likely a woman despite masculine Latin nominative, contracted with Iounias), syngeneis mou (my kinspeople, fellow Jews) kai synaiichmalōtos (fellow prisoners with me), episēmoi (outstanding, notable, well-known) en tois apostolois (among the apostles), kai pro emou genonto en Christō (and in Christ before me). Their pre-Christian conversion and apostolic prominence make them pillars.
