Note 6 at Ro 16:20: The word "amen" does not mean "the end," as so many people use it in prayer. It means "properly, firm, i.e. (figuratively) trustworthy; adverbially, surely (often as interjection, so be it)" (Strong's Concordance). It was used seventy-eight times in the Bible; fifty-one of those times were in the New Testament.
