Romans 16
16
1I recommend to you achoteinu (our sister) Phoebe, the Messianic Shammash of the kehillah in Cenchrea,
2That you be mekarev (welcome and treat well) to her in Adoneinu, in a manner worthy of the Kedoshim and assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you. For she herself has also been patroness of many and of myself.
3Drishat Shalom to Prisca and Aquila my fellow po'alim (workers) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
4Who performed an act of Messianic mesirat nefesh (whole-hearted devotion to the cause of Moshiach, even at risk of life) for my sake, and for whom not only I give thanks, but also kol kehillot of the Nations;
5Also Drishat Shalom to the kehillah (congregation) that meets in their house. Drishat Shalom to my beloved Epaenetus, who is the bikkurim (firstfruits) of Asia#16:5 T. N. todayʼs Turkey for Moshiach.
6Drishat Shalom to Miryam, who has labored much for you.
7Drishat Shalom to Andronicus and Junia, my kinsfolk and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among Moshiachʼs shlichim, and also were in Moshiach before me.
8Drishat Shalom to Ampliatus, my beloved chaver in Adoneinu.
9Drishat Shalom to Urbanus, our fellow po'el (worker) in Moshiach, and my beloved Stachys.
10Drishat Shalom to Apelles, approved in Moshiach. Drishat Shalom to those from the household of Aristobulus.
11Drishat Shalom to Herodion, my kinsman. Drishat Shalom to those of the household of Narcissus who are in Adoneinu.
12Drishat Shalom to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard in Adoneinu. Drishat Shalom to the beloved Persis, who has labored much in Adoneinu.
13Drishat Shalom to Rufus the Bechir (the Chosen one) in Adoneinu; also his Em and mine.
14Drishat Shalom to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the Achim b'Moshiach with them.
15Drishat Shalom to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his achot; also Olympas and all the Kedoshim with them.
16Greet one another with a neshikat hakodesh. All the Kehillot of Moshiach send you Drishat Shalom.
17I appeal to you, Achim b'Moshiach, to look out for those who cause kitot (sects) and nisyonot (temptations) contrary to the Torah which you learned, and keep away from them.
18For such people do not serve Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu but their own appetites, and through smooth loshon and fine sounding words they deceive the levavot of the unsuspecting.
19For your mishma'at has become known to all. So I have simcha over you, but want you to be chachamim regarding what is HaTov and innocent regarding what is HaRah.
20And Elohei HaShalom will soon crush HaSatan under your feet. Chesed Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua yi'heyeh immachem (The unmerited favor, mercy and grace of Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua be with you).
21Timotiyos my fellow po'el sends Drishat Shalom to you; also Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22I, Tertius, who have written the iggeret, send Drishat Shalom to you in Adoneinu.
23Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole kehillah sends Drishat Shalom to you. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends Drishat Shalom to you, also the Ach b'Moshiach, Quartus.
[24The chen v'chesed of Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua be with you all. Omein.]
25To him who is able to establish you by my Besuras HaGeulah, and the hachrazah (proclamation, kerygma) of Moshiach Yehoshua, in the hisgalus haSod concealed for long ages,
26but now made manifest and through Ketuvim Nevu'iyim, in accordance with the mitzvoh of the Elohei Olam (the Eternal G-d), made known for the mishma'at (obedience) of emunah for kol haGoyim,
27to the only Elohim heChacham (only wise G-d), lo HaKavod b'Moshiach Yehoshua. Omein.

Personal Greetings
1Let me introduce our sister Phoebe, who’s bringing this letter to you as my representative. She’s a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. 2Please offer her your hospitality, in the way God’s people should welcome a fellow believer. I ask you to help with anything she might need from you, because she has been very helpful to many people herself, including me.
3Greet Priscilla and Aquila, who work together with me in serving Christ Jesus. 4They have put their lives in danger for me, and I’m thankful for them, as are all the Gentile churches. 5Also please greet the church that meets in their house.
Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person in the province of Asia to believe in Christ.
6Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.
7Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews. They have been in prison with me, and they are leaders among the apostles. They became believers in Christ before I did.
8Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.
9Greet Urbanus, who works together with me in serving Christ, and greet my dear friend Stachys.
10Greet Apelles, who 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 who work hard for the Lord.
Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard for the Lord.
13Greet Rufus, a chosen believer in the Lord, and greet his mother, who has been a mother to me too.
14Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the other brothers and sisters with them.
15Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, 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 warn you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and who trip you up by teaching you things that are the opposite of what you’ve learned. Stay away from them, 18because people like that are serving their own appetites, not our Lord Jesus Christ. With smooth talk and flattery they fool people who don’t know any better. 19But everyone has heard that you obey God, and that makes me very happy. I want you to be wise about what is good but not know anything about what is evil.
20The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21Timothy, who works with me, sends you his greetings. So do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
22I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter as Paul dictated it, greet you in the Lord.
23-24Gaius sends you his greetings. I’m staying with him here, and the whole church meets in his house.
Erastus, the director of public works here in the city, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings.
25God is able to strengthen you through the good news, which is the message I preach about Jesus Christ. There was a mystery that had been kept hidden for a very long time. 26But now it has been made known to all the Gentiles through the writings of the prophets, as the eternal God has commanded. Through the revelation of this mystery, the Gentiles are starting to obey God by trusting in him. 27May the only wise God receive glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
