Romans 16

Now I commend to you Phoebe our sister, also being a servant of the church which {is} in Cenchrea,

in order that you might welcome her in the Lord, in a manner worthy of the saints, and might stand by her in whatever matter she might have need of you. For she has also become a benefactor of many, and of myself as well. \*

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

who for the sake of my life laid down their own neck, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;

and the church {based in} their house. Greet Epaenetus my beloved, who is the firstfruits of Asia for Christ. \*

Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.

Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners who are prominent among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord. \*

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet the ones from the {household} of Aristobulus.

Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet the ones from the household of Narcissus, the ones being in the Lord. \*

Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, the ones working hard in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked much in the Lord.

Greet Rufus, the elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers {who are} with them. \*

Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints {who are} with them.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. \*

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for the ones causing divisions and traps, contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and turn away from them.

For ones such as these are not enslaved to our Lord Christ, but to their own stomach, and through their smooth speech and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting ones. \*

For your obedience reaches to everyone. I rejoice, therefore, over you, but I want you to be wise as to the good, but innocent as to the evil.

Now the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet with haste. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ {be} with you. \*

Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you.

I, Tertius, the one having written this epistle, greet you in the Lord. \*

Gaius, the host for me and for the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the steward of the city, greets you, and Quartus the brother.

[The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ {be} with all of you. Amen.] \* 25 Now to the one being able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, kept secret for long ages,

but now having been revealed, and through the prophetic writings, according to the command of the eternal God, to the obedience of faith, to all the nations, having been made known, \*

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom {be} the glory to eternity. Amen.
