TEXT (NASB):
Rom. 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe,
who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea; 2 that you receive her in
the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever
matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of
many, and of myself as well.
Rom. 16:3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow
workers in Christ Jesus, 4
who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not only do I give thanks, but
also all the churches of the Gentiles; 5
also greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my
beloved, who is the first convert to Christ from Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who has
worked hard for you. 7
Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are
outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 8 Greet Ampliatus, my
beloved in the Lord. 9
Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 10 Greet Apelles, the
approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of
Aristobulus. 11 Greet
Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are
in the Lord. 12 Greet
Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has
worked hard in the Lord. 13
Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine. 14 Greet Asyncritus,
Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them. 15 Greet Philologus and
Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with
them. 16 Greet one
another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
Rom. 16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, keep your
eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching
which you learned, and turn away from them.
18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but
of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive
the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19
For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing
over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is
evil. 20 The God of
peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
The grace of our Lord
Jesus be with you.
Rom. 16:21 Timothy my fellow worker greets
you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
Rom. 16:22 I, Tertius, who write this letter,
greet you in the Lord.
Rom. 16:23 Gaius, host to me and to the whole
church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the
brother. 24 [The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]
Rom. 16:25 Now to Him who
is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus
Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret
for long ages past, 26
but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the
commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading
to obedience of faith; 27
to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.
