Romans 16:1-23 ▼

1 Now I commend to you? Phoebe our sister, being also a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

2 so that you? might receive her in the Lord worthily of the saints, and you? might assist her in whatever matter she may need of you?. For she also has been a patroness of many, and of myself.

3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus—

4 who laid down their own neck for my life, whom not only I thank, but also all the churches of the Gentiles—

5 and the church at their house. Greet Epenetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruit of Asia for Christ.

6 Greet Mary, who toiled much for you?.

7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles and who were in Christ before me.

8 Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.

10 Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those of the household of Aristobulus.

11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus being in the Lord.

12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those toiling in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who toiled much in the Lord.

13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers with them.

15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the saints with them.

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you?.

17 Now I exhort you?, brothers, to watch out for those causing divisions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you? learned, and turn away from them.

18 For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and through smooth talk and blessing they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

19 For your? obedience has reached to all. Therefore I rejoice over you?. But I want you? to be wise to good, and innocent to evil.

20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your? feet in quickness. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you?.

21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you?; so also Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

22 I, Tertius, the one having written the letter, greet you? in the Lord.

23 Gaius, the host of me and of the whole church, greets you?. Erastus the steward of the city greets you?; so also Quartus the brother.
