The previous chapter could be considered as the concluding part of the practical teachings of the Epistle. It is in harmony with the first part of the epistle where St. Paul discussed theological issues. This is because it is impossible to separate the faith of the church from its daily conduct.

This chapter represents the concluding words of the Epistle, and provides us with a great number of names. While we know very little about many of them, the Holy Spirit reveals, through them, the fervor of the Church. All sought to establish a spiritual Church in the Lord, and they were charged with a spirit of love which sanctifies shared feelings and emotions.
