Tryphosa

Tryphosa was a Christian woman in Rome greeted by Paul alongside Tryphaena in Romans 16:12 as a fellow worker 'in the Lord.' Like Tryphaena, she is commended for her labor in the Roman community, and the shared naming root has led many scholars to suggest the two were sisters. Paul's explicit acknowledgment of their hard work (κοπιώσας) places them among the women whose active ministry contributed meaningfully to the early Roman church.
