Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 16
{16:1} I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a [1>]servant[<1]
of the assembly that is at Cenchreae, {16:2} that you receive her in
the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in
whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a
helper of many, and of my own self.
{16:3} Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
{16:4} who for my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I
give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles. {16:5} Greet
the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who
is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ. {16:6} Greet Mary, who
labored much for us. {16:7} Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives
and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also
were in Christ before me. {16:8} Greet Amplias, my beloved in the
Lord. {16:9} Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys,
my beloved. {16:10} Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those
who are of the household of Aristobulus. {16:11} Greet Herodion, my
kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the
Lord. {16:12} Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord.
Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord. {16:13} Greet
Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. {16:14} Greet
Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the
[2>]brothers[<2] who are with them. {16:15} Greet Philologus and
Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are
with them. {16:16} Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies
of Christ greet you.
{16:17} Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing
the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine
which you learned, and turn away from them. {16:18} For those who are
such don't serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by
their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the
innocent. {16:19} For your obedience has become known to all. I
rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that
which is good, but innocent in that which is evil. {16:20} And the God
of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
{16:21} Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason,
and Sosipater, my relatives. {16:22} I, Tertius, who write the letter,
greet you in the Lord. {16:23} Gaius, my host and host of the whole
assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you,
as does Quartus, the brother. {16:24} The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you all! Amen.{16:25} [3]
