Romans 16

I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant[1] of the congregation that is at Cenchreae, ²that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.

³Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in al-Masih 'Isa, ⁴who for my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the non-Jewish congregations. ⁵Greet the congregation that meets in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to al-Masih. ⁶Greet Maryam, who laboured much for us. ⁷Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in al-Masih before me. ⁸Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. ⁹Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in al-Masih, and Stachys, my beloved. ¹⁰Greet Apelles, the approved in al-Masih. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. ¹¹Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. ¹²Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who laboured much in the Lord. ¹³Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. ¹⁴Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers[2] who are with them. ¹⁵Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. ¹⁶Greet one another with a holy kiss. The congregations of al-Masih greet you.

¹⁷Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. ¹⁸For those who are such do not serve our Lord, 'Isa al-Masih, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent. ¹⁹For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil. ²⁰And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord 'Isa al-Masih be with you.

²¹Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives. ²²I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord. ²³Gaius, my host and host of the whole congregation, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother. ²⁴The grace of our Lord 'Isa al-Masih be with you all! Amen.²⁵Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Injil and the message of 'Isa al-Masih, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, ²⁶but now is revealed, and by the writings of the Prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; ²⁷to the only wise God, through 'Isa al-Masih, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.
