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 .
