Romans 16

1 I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant#16:1 or, deacon of the assembly that is at Cenchreae, 2that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy ones, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
3Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Messiah Yeshua, 4who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles. 5Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Messiah. 6Greet Miriam, who laboured much for us. 7Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable amongst the emissaries, who were also in Messiah before me. 8Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. 9Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Messiah, and Stachys, my beloved. 10Greet Apelles, the approved in Messiah. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. 11Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. 12Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who laboured much in the Lord. 13Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers#16:14 The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with them. 15Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy ones who are with them. 16Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of Messiah greet you.
17 Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learnt, and turn away from them. 18For those who are such don’t serve our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent. 19For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil. 20And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives. 22I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord. 23Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother. 24The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you all! Amen. 25#16:25 TR places Romans 14:24-26 at the end of Romans instead of at the end of chapter 14, and numbers these verses 16:25-27.

Gal 1.8-9; 2 Thess 3.6,14; 2 Jn 10. I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them. 18For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,#16.18 Greek their own belly (Phil 3.19) and by fair and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded. 19#Rom 1.8; 1 Cor 14.20. For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you wise as to what is good and guileless as to what is evil; 20#1 Cor 16.23; 2 Cor 13.14; Gal 6.18; Phil 4.23; 1 Thess 5.28; 2 Thess 3.18; Rev 22.21. then the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.#16.20 Other ancient authorities omit this sentence
