1I Commende vnto you Phebe our sister, which is a seruaunt of the Church of Cenchrea: 2That ye receiue her in the Lord, as it becommeth Saintes, and that ye assist her in whatsoeuer businesse she needeth of your ayde: for she hath giuen hospitalitie vnto many, and to me also. 3Greete Priscilla, and Aquila my fellowe helpers in Christ Iesus, 4(Which haue for my life laide downe their owne necke. Vnto whom not I onely giue thankes, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles.) 5Likewise greete the Church that is in their house. Salute my beloued Epenetus, which is the first fruites of Achaia in Christ. 6Greete Marie which bestowed much labour on vs. 7Salute Andronicus and Iunia my cousins and fellowe prisoners, which are notable among the Apostles, and were in Christ before me. 8Greete Amplias my beloued in the Lord. 9Salute Vrbanus our fellow helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloued. 10Salute Apelles approoued in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus friendes. 11Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greete them which are of the friendes of Narcissus which are in the Lord. 12Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, which women labour in the Lord. Salute the beloued Persis, which woman hath laboured much in the Lord. 13Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14Greete Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Mercurius, and the brethren which are with them. 15Salute Philologus and Iulias, Nereas, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the Saintes which are with them. 16Salute one another with an holy kisse. The Churches of Christ salute you. 17Now I beseech you brethren, marke them diligently which cause diuision and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye haue learned, and auoide them. 18For they that are such, serue not the Lord Iesus Christ, but their owne bellies, and with faire speach and flattering deceiue the heartes of the simple. 19For your obedience is come abroade among all: I am glad therefore of you: but yet I woulde haue you wise vnto that which is good, and simple concerning euill. 20The God of peace shall treade Satan vnder your feete shortly. The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you. 21Timotheus my helper, and Lucius, and Iason, and Sosipater my kinsemen, salute you. 22I Tertius, which wrote out this Epistle, salute you in the Lord. 23Gains mine hoste, and of the whole Church saluteth you. Erastus the steward of the citie saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. 24The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 25To him nowe that is of power to establish you according to my Gospel, and preaching of Iesus Christ, by the reuelation of the mysterie, which was kept secrete since the worlde began: 26(But nowe is opened, and published among all nations by the Scriptures of the Prophetes, at the commandement of the euerlasting God for the obedience of faith) 27To God, I say, only wise, be praise through Iesus Christ for euer. Amen. ‘Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe, seruaunt of the Church which is at Cenchrea.’

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.
