Romans 16

₁I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church at Cenchreae, ₂that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well.

₃Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, ₄who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well. ₅Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in Asia. ₆Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you. ₇Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. 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. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. ₁₁Greet my kinsman Herodion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcissus. ₁₂Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord. ₁₃Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his mother, who has been a mother to me as well. ₁₄Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them. ₁₅Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. ₁₆Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

₁₇I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. ₁₈For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. ₁₉For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. ₂₀The 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; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

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

₂₃Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.

₂₅Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages ₂₆but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been 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 be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
