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 and Love
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.
6Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.
7Greet Andronicus and Junia,#16:7 Some translators Junias my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
8Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.
9Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.
10Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ.

All the churches of Christ send you greetings.
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.
Greetings from Paul’s Fellow Workers
(Colossians 4:7–14)
21Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow countrymen.
22I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.
23Gaius, who has hosted me and all the church, sends you greetings.
Erastus, the city treasurer, sends you greetings, as does our brother Quartus.#16:23 SBL, BYZ, and TR include 24 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
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.
