Paul Greets His Friends
1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a deacon in the church in Cenchrea. 2Welcome her in the Lord as one who is worthy of honor among God’s people. Help her in whatever she needs, for she has been helpful to many, and especially to me.
3Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesus. 4In fact, they once risked their lives for me. I am thankful to them, and so are all the Gentile churches. 5Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home.
Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person from the province of Asia to become a follower of Christ. 6Give my greetings to Mary, who has worked so hard for your benefit. 7Greet Andronicus and Junia,#16:7a Junia is a feminine name. Some late manuscripts accent the word so it reads Junias, a masculine name; still others read Julia (feminine). my fellow Jews,#16:7b Or compatriots; also in 16:21. who were in prison with me. They are highly respected among the apostles and became followers of Christ before I did. 8Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord. 9Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.
10Greet Apelles, a good man whom Christ approves. And give my greetings to the believers from the household of Aristobulus. 11Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew.#16:11 Or compatriot. Greet the Lord’s people from the household of Narcissus. 12Give my greetings to Tryphena and Tryphosa, the Lord’s workers, and to dear Persis, who has worked so hard for the Lord. 13Greet Rufus, whom the Lord picked out to be his very own; and also his dear mother, who has been a mother to me.
14Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers and sisters#16:14 Greek brothers; also in 16:17. who meet with them. 15Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas and all the believers#16:15 Greek all of God’s holy people. who meet with them. 16Greet each other with a sacred kiss. All the churches of Christ send you their greetings.
Paul’s Final Instructions
17And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people. 19But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong. 20The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus#16:20 Some manuscripts read Lord Jesus Christ. be with you.
21Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you his greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
22I, Tertius, the one writing this letter for Paul, send my greetings, too, as one of the Lord’s followers.
23Gaius says hello to you. He is my host and also serves as host to the whole church. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends you his greetings, and so does our brother Quartus.#16:23 Some manuscripts add verse 24, May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Still others add this sentence after verse 27.
25Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time. 26But now as the prophets#16:26 Greek the prophetic writings. foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him. 27All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.#16:25-27 Various manuscripts place the doxology (shown here as 16:25-27) after 14:23 or after 15:33 or after 16:23.

1And I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the assembly in Kenḥrea,
2that you receive her in יהוה, worthy of the set-apart ones, and assist her in whatever matter she has need of you. For she has been a great help to many, including me.
3Greet Priscilla and Aqulas, my fellow workers in Messiah יהושע,
4who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations,
5and the assembly that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epainetos, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Messiah.
6Greet Miryam, who worked very hard for us.
7Greet Andronikos and Junias, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are eminent among the emissaries, who also were in Messiah before me.
8Greet Amplias, my beloved in יהוה.
9Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Messiah, and Stachus, my beloved.
10Greet Apelles, the approved in Messiah. Greet those who are of Aristobulos.
11Greet Herodion, my relative. Greet those who are of Narcissus who are in יהוה.
12Greet Truphaina and Truphosa, who work in יהוה. Greet the beloved Persis, who worked very hard in יהוה.
13Greet Rufus, chosen in יהוה and his mother and mine.
14Greet Asugritos, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers who are with them.
15Greet Philologos and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olumpas, and all the set-apart ones who are with them.
16Greet one another with a set-apart kiss. The assemblies of Messiah greet you.
17Now I call upon you, brothers, watch out for those who cause divisions and stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.
18For such ones do not serve our Master יהושע Messiah, but their own stomach, and by smooth words and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
19Your obedience, indeed, is reported to all. Therefore I rejoice concerning you, but I wish you to be wise indeed as to the good, and simple toward the evil.
20And the Elohim of peace shall crush Satan under your feet shortly. The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with you. Amĕn.
21Timotiyos, my fellow worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives, greet you.
22I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in יהוה.
23Gaios, the host of all the assembly and me, greets you. Ěrastos, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.
24The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with you all. Amĕn.
25And to Him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of יהושע Messiah, according to the revelation of the secret which was kept silent since times of old,
26but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the everlasting Elohim, for belief-obedience.
27To Elohim, wise alone, be the esteem, through יהושע Messiah forever. Amĕn.
