Greetings to the Christians
1I recommend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a helper in the church in Cenchrea. 2I ask you to accept her in the Lord in the way God’s people should. Help her with anything she needs, because she has helped me and many other people also.
3Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, who work together with me in Christ Jesus 4and who risked their own lives to save my life. I am thankful to them, and all the non-Jewish churches are thankful as well. 5Also, greet for me the church that meets at their house.
Greetings to my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first person in Asia to follow Christ. 6Greetings to Mary, who worked very hard for you. 7Greetings to Andronicus and Junia, my relatives, who were in prison with me. They are very important apostles. They were believers in Christ before I was. 8Greetings to Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord. 9Greetings to Urbanus, a worker together with me for Christ. And greetings to my dear friend Stachys. 10Greetings to Apelles, who was tested and proved that he truly loves Christ. Greetings to all those who are in the family of Aristobulus. 11Greetings to Herodion, my fellow citizen. Greetings to all those in the family of Narcissus who belong to the Lord. 12Greetings to Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who work very hard for the Lord. Greetings to my dear friend Persis, who also has worked very hard for the Lord. 13Greetings to Rufus, who is a special person in the Lord, and to his mother, who has been like a mother to me also. 14Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the brothers and sisters who are with them. 15Greetings to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and to all God’s people with them. 16Greet each other with a holy kiss. All of Christ’s churches send greetings to you.
17Brothers and sisters, I ask you to look out for those who cause people to be against each other and who upset other people’s faith. They are against the true teaching you learned, so stay away from them. 18Such people are not serving our Lord Christ but are only doing what pleases themselves. They use fancy talk and fine words to fool the minds of those who do not know about evil. 19All the believers have heard that you obey, so I am very happy because of you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
20The God who brings peace will soon defeat Satan and give you power over him.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21Timothy, a worker together with me, sends greetings, as well as Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
22I am Tertius, and I am writing this letter from Paul. I send greetings to you in the Lord.
23Gaius is letting me and the whole church here use his home. He also sends greetings to you, as do Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus. [24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.]
25Glory to God who can make you strong in faith by the Good News that I tell people and by the message about Jesus Christ. The message about Christ is the secret that was hidden for long ages past but is now made known. 26It has been made clear through the writings of the prophets. And by the command of the eternal God it is made known to all nations that they might believe and obey.
27To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Romans 16
16
1AND I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:
2That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.
3Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,
4(Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)
5And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ.
6Salute Mary, who hath laboured much among you.
7Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord.
9Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus, and Stachys, my beloved.
10Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
11Salute them that are of Aristobulus' household. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus' household, who are in the Lord.
12Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.
13Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.
15Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are with them.
16Salute one another with an holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.
17Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
18For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.
19For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.
20And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23Caius, my host, and the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.
24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
25Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,
26(Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;
27To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
