Question
ro.16;6 who is that mary?

Answer
There have been some Bible students who have theories and opinions about this being a "Mary" who had worked with Paul in other cities before moving on to Rome.....     But, there is no evidence to back these theories up.

Most likely she was another of the many saints that St. Paul was commending for her service to the Lord and the the ministry to which Paul was called by Jesus.

It is wonderful for her that she is named in the Bible.   However, we too can rejoice that our names are written in the book of life.

Luke 10:19-20
20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
NIV
