To the Romans, 16

¹ I am introducing^*1 to you Phoeʹbe, our sister, who is a minister of the congregation that is in Cenʹchre·ae,

² so that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy ones and give her whatever help she may need, for she herself also proved to be a defender of many, including me.

³ Give my greetings to Prisʹca and Aqʹui·la, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

⁴ who have risked their own necks for me^*1 and to whom not only I but also all the congregations of the nations give thanks.

⁵ Also greet the congregation that is in their house. Greet my beloved E·paeʹne·tus, who is a firstfruits of Asia for Christ.

⁶ Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.

⁷ Greet An·dronʹi·cus and Juʹni·as, my relatives and fellow prisoners, who are men well-known to the apostles and who have been in union with Christ longer than I have.

⁸ Give my greetings to Am·pli·aʹtus, my beloved in the Lord.

⁹ Greet Ur·baʹnus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Staʹchys.

¹⁰ Greet A·pelʹles, the approved one in Christ. Greet those from the household of A·ris·tobʹu·lus.

¹¹ Greet He·roʹdi·on, my relative. Greet those from the household of Nar·cisʹsus who are in the Lord.

¹² Greet Try·phaeʹna and Try·phoʹsa, women who are working hard in the Lord. Greet Perʹsis, our beloved one, for she has worked hard in the Lord.

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

¹⁴ Greet A·synʹcri·tus, Phleʹgon, Herʹmes, Patʹro·bas, Herʹmas, and the brothers with them.

¹⁵ Greet Phi·lolʹo·gus and Julia, Neʹreus and his sister, and O·lymʹpas, and all the holy ones with them.

¹⁶ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the congregations of the Christ greet you.

¹⁷ Now I urge you, brothers, to keep your eye on those who create divisions and causes for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.

¹⁸ For men of that sort are slaves, not of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites,^*1 and by smooth talk and flattering speech they seduce the hearts of unsuspecting ones.

¹⁹ Your obedience has come to the notice of all, and so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise as to what is good, but innocent as to what is evil.

²⁰ For his part, the God who gives peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. May the undeserved kindness of our Lord Jesus be with you.

²¹ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, and so do Lucius, Jaʹson, and So·sipʹa·ter, my relatives.

²² I, Terʹtius, who have done the writing of this letter, greet you in the Lord.

²³ Gaʹius, host to me and to all the congregation, greets you. E·rasʹtus, the city treasurer,^*1 greets you, and so does Quarʹtus, his brother.

^{24 *1} ——

²⁵ Now to Him who can make you firm according to the good news I declare and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the sacred secret that has been kept in silence for long-lasting times

²⁶ but has now been made manifest^*1 and has been made known through the prophetic Scriptures among all the nations according to the command of the everlasting God to promote obedience by faith;

²⁷ to God, who alone is wise, be the glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
