Romans 16
16
1And I commend you to Phebe our sister — being a ministrant of the assembly that [is] in Cenchrea —
2that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you — for she also became a leader of many, and of myself.
3Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus —
4who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations —
5and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ.
6Salute Mary, who did labour much for us;
7salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.
8Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord;
9salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved;
10salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the [household] of Aristobulus;
11salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the [household] of Narcissus, who are in the Lord;
12salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord.
13Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine,
14salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them;
15salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them;
16salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.
17And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumblingblocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;
18for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,
19for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;
20and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen!
21Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred;
22I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord;
23salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,
24the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
25And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,
26and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith —
27to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him [be] glory to the ages. Amen.

Personal Greetings
1I would like you to welcome our sister Phoebe. She is a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. 2I ask you to receive her as one who belongs to the Lord. Receive her in the way God’s people should. Give her any help she may need from you. She has been a great help to many people, including me.
3Greet Priscilla and Aquila. They work together with me in serving Christ Jesus. 4They have put their lives in danger for me. I am thankful for them. So are all the Gentile churches.
5Greet also the church that meets in the house of Priscilla and Aquila.
Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person in Asia Minor to become a believer in Christ.
6Greet Mary. She worked very hard for you.
7Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews. They have been in prison with me. They are leaders among the apostles. They became believers in Christ before I did.
8Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.
9Greet Urbanus. He works together with me in serving Christ. And greet my dear friend Stachys.
10Greet Apelles. He remained faithful to Christ even when he was tested.
Greet those who live in the house of Aristobulus.
11Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew.
Greet the believers who live in the house of Narcissus.
12Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa. Those women work hard for the Lord.
Greet my dear friend Persis. She is another woman who has worked very hard for the Lord.
13Greet Rufus. He is a chosen believer in the Lord. And greet his mother. She has been like a mother to me too.
14Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon and Hermes. Greet Patrobas, Hermas and the other brothers and sisters with them.
15Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister. Greet Olympas and all of the Lord’s people who are with them.
16Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the churches of Christ send their greetings.
17I am warning you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who try to keep you from staying together. They want to trip you up. They teach you things opposite to what you have learned. Stay away from them. 18People like that are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving only themselves. With smooth talk and with words they don’t mean they fool people who don’t know any better. 19Everyone has heard that you obey God. So you have filled me with joy. I want you to be wise about what is good. And I want you to have nothing to do with what is evil.
20The God who gives peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21Timothy works together with me. He sends his greetings to you. So do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
22I, Tertius, wrote down this letter. I greet you as a believer in the Lord.
23-24Gaius sends you his greetings. He has welcomed me and the whole church here into his house.
Erastus is the director of public works here in the city. He sends you his greetings. Our brother Quartus also greets you.
25May God receive glory. He is able to strengthen your faith. He does this in keeping with the good news and the message I preach. It is the message about Jesus Christ. This message is in keeping with the mystery hidden for a very long time. 26The mystery has now been made known through the writings of the prophets. The eternal God commanded that it be made known. God wanted all the Gentiles to obey him by trusting in him. 27May the only wise God receive glory forever through Jesus Christ. Amen.
