Romans 16

1I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is also a deacon of the church in Cenchreae,

2so that you may welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself has become a patron of many, and of myself as well.

3Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Messiah Jesus,

4who laid down their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,

5Also greet the church in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruits of Asia for Messiah.

6Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.

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

8Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

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

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

11Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

12Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who has labored much in the Lord.

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

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

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

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

17I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and stumbling blocks contrary to the teaching that you learned, and turn away from them.

18For such people do not serve our Lord Messiah, but their own belly, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

19For your obedience has reached everyone. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil.

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

21Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

22I, Tertius, who wrote the letter, greet you in the Lord.

23Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, greets you, and Quartus, the brother.

24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.

25to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus the Messiah, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages,

26but has now been revealed, and through the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith,

27to the only wise God, through Jesus the Messiah, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.
