Romans 16

• Doctrine

  Christian Fellowship

  Bare 'communion' is heard first as the Eucharist; must be qualified as 'fraternelle' to convey koinonia.

  Church

  Capitalized 'l'Église' strongly denotes the institutional Catholic Church in ordinary usage.

  ROM.16.1-16

  Church as God's People

  New covenant community, not the institutional 'Église' alone; French Protestants historically reserve 'église' for the body and 'temple' for the building, a distinction worth preserving in teaching.
