Romans 16

¹I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a deaconess of the church at Cenchreae;

²that ye may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the holy, and assist her in whatever business she may need your aid; for she hath been a helper of many, and of myself also.

³Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-laborers in Christ Jesus;

⁴who for my life laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone give thanks, but also all the churches of the gentiles;

⁵salute also the church that is in their house. Salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruit gathered from Asia for Christ.

⁶Salute Mary, who labored much for us.

⁷Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

⁸Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

⁹Salute Urbanus, our fellow-laborer in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

¹⁰Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.

¹¹Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

¹²Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.

¹³Salute Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who is mine also.

¹⁴Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren that are with them.

¹⁵Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

¹⁶Salute each other with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

¹⁷But I exhort your brethren, to mark those who are causing divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and avoid them.

¹⁸For such men are not servants of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁹For your obedience hath become known to all. Over you, then, I rejoice; but I would have you wise as to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil.

²⁰And the God of peace will soon beat down Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²¹Timothy, my fellow-laborer, salutes you, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater my kinsmen.

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

²³Gaius my host, and the host of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus, the brother.

²⁴The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

²⁵Now 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 for eternal ages was unrevealed,

²⁶but is now made manifest, and through the writings of the prophets, by the command of the everlasting God, is made known to all the nations to bring them to obedience to the faith,—

²⁷to God, the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever! Amen.

Romans 16

¹I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

²That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

³Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

⁴Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

⁵Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

⁶Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

⁷Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

⁸Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

⁹Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

¹⁰Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ household.

¹¹Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.

¹²Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

¹³Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

¹⁴Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.

¹⁵Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

¹⁶Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

¹⁷Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

¹⁸For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁹For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

²⁰And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

²¹Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

²²I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

²³Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

²⁴The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

²⁵Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

²⁶But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

²⁷To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.
