Paul greets Tryphaena in Romans 16:12 as one who 'labors in the Lord'—an interesting contrast to the name's etymology suggesting delicacy or luxury. Nothing else is known about her, but Paul's commendation establishes her as a faithful worker in the Roman church. She's mentioned alongside Tryphosa, possibly a sister or close associate. The greeting reveals the significant role of women in Paul's ministry network and the diversity of personalities serving Christ. Even someone whose name suggests comfortable living gave herself to hard work for the gospel.
