Romans 16
1¶ I commend unto you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} which is at Cenchrea,
2that ye receive her in the Lord as a worthy saint, and that ye assist her in whatever thing in which she has need of you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself also.
3Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus
4(who have for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of the Gentiles);
5likewise greet the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia in Christ.
6Greet Mary, who has laboured much with us.
7Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.
9Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
10Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. Salute those who are of Aristobulus’ household.
11Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those that are of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
12Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, who laboured much in the Lord.
13Salute Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.
15Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Christ salute you.
17¶ And I beseech you, brethren, mark those who cause dissensions and offences outside of the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them.
18For they that are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly and by smooth words and blessings deceive the hearts of the simple.
19For your obedience is come abroad unto all places. I am glad therefore on your behalf, but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good and innocent concerning evil.
20And let the God of peace bruise Satan under your feet quickly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
21¶ Timothy my fellow worker and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23Gaius my host, and of the whole congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} salutes you. Erastus, the chamberlain of the city, salutes you, and Quartus, a brother.
24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with you all. Amen.
25¶ Now to him that is able to confirm you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was concealed from times eternal
26but now is made manifest, and by the writings of the prophets, by the commandment of God eternal, declared unto all the Gentiles, that they might hear and obey by faith,
27to God, only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant #16:1 Or deaconess of the church in Cenchrea. 2Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.
3Greet Prisca #16:3 Prisca is a variant of Priscilla; see Acts 18:2. and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 4who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. 5Greet also the church that meets at their house.
Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.#16:5 Literally in Asia; Asia was a Roman province in what is now western Turkey.

Avoid Divisions
(Titus 3:9–11)
17Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. 18For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
19Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.
20The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ #16:20 NA, NE, and WH Lord Jesus be with you.

Doxology
(Jude 1:24–25)
25Now to Him who is able to strengthen you by my gospel and by the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery concealed for ages past 26but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith #16:26 Literally the obedience of faith— 27to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.#16:27 Some manuscripts place the text of verses 25–27 after Romans 14:23 or after Romans 15:33.
