Adventistische Schriften über: "Were Andronicus and Junia in Romans 16:7 themselves apostles or highly regarded among the apostles?"

The provided documents contain no explicit theological interpretation regarding whether Andronicus and Junia themselves held the apostolate or were merely highly regarded among the apostles. The texts primarily cite the biblical passage from Romans 16:7, in which they are described as fellow prisoners of Paul and as known or distinguished among the apostles. Ellen G. White emphasizes in this context especially the role of women and co‑workers who worked together with Paul on the gospel.

Andronicus and Junia as notable co‑workers

»Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are esteemed among the apostles and who have also been in Christ before me.«

Greetings to faithful brethren in Rome

»Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives. [...] And so the list continues, which includes both men and women impartially. When one reads this blessed list, one recognizes not only the breadth and warmth of Paul's compassion, but also the special care that the Holy Spirit has for each individual member of the household of faith.«
