Romans - Chapter 16 | New International Version

  • 1. I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea.
  • 2. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me.
  • 3. Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus.
  • 4. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.
  • 5. Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.
  • 6. Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.
  • 7. Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
  • 8. Greet Ampliatus, whom I love in the Lord.
  • 9. Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.
  • 10. Greet Apelles, tested and approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.
  • 11. Greet Herodion, my relative. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
  • 12. Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.
  • 13. Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
  • 14. Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brothers with them.
  • 15. Greet Philologus, 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 send greetings.
  • 17. I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
  • 18. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
  • 19. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
  • 20. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
  • 21. Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my relatives.
  • 22. I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.
  • 23. Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings. Erastus, who is the city's director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings.
  • 25. Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past,
  • 26. but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him--
  • 27. to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
