Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis hymas {εἰς ὑμᾶς | eis hymâs} ‘for you’ uses eis to indicate direction or orientation toward the recipients in a benefactive sense, clarifying that the focus of her labor has been the Roman believers themselves. The English renderings retain the initial imperative position to preserve the prominence of the command, represent the qualitative relative clause with “who has worked,” and translate the adverbial polla with expressions such as “much” or “a great deal” to reflect the intensity of Mary’s service for the community.
In context — Romans 16:6
Greet Mary , who has worked much for you.
