Romani 16

Raccomandazioni e saluti
16 Vi raccomando Febe, nostra sorella, diaconessa della Chiesa di Cencre: 2 ricevetela nel Signore, come si conviene ai credenti, e assistetela in qualunque cosa abbia bisogno; anch'essa infatti ha protetto molti, e anche me stesso.
3 Salutate Prisca e Aquila, miei collaboratori in Cristo Gesù; per salvarmi la vita essi hanno rischiato la loro testa, 4 e ad essi non io soltanto sono grato, ma tutte le Chiese dei Gentili; 5 salutate anche la comunità che si riunisce nella loro casa.
Salutate il mio caro Epèneto, primizia dell'Asia per Cristo. 6 Salutate Maria, che ha faticato molto per voi. 7 Salutate Andronìco e Giunia, miei parenti e compagni di prigionia; sono degli apostoli insigni che erano in Cristo gia prima di me. 8 Salutate Ampliato, mio diletto nel Signore. 9 Salutate Urbano, nostro collaboratore in Cristo, e il mio caro Stachi. 10 Salutate Apelle che ha dato buona prova in Cristo. Salutate i familiari di Aristòbulo. 11 Salutate Erodione, mio parente. Salutate quelli della casa di Narcìso che sono nel Signore. 12 Salutate Trifèna e Trifòsa che hanno lavorato per il Signore. Salutate la carissima Pèrside che ha lavorato per il Signore. 13 Salutate Rufo, questo eletto nel Signore, e la madre sua che è anche mia. 14 Salutate Asìncrito, Flego'sìnte, Erme, Pàtroba, Erma e i fratelli che sono con loro. 15 Salutate Filòlogo e Giulia, Nèreo e sua sorella e Olimpas e tutti i credenti che sono con loro. 16 Salutatevi gli uni gli altri con il bacio santo. Vi salutano tutte le chiese di Cristo.
Avvertimento. Primo post-scriptum
17 Mi raccomando poi, fratelli, di ben guardarvi da coloro che provocano divisioni e ostacoli contro la dottrina che avete appreso: tenetevi lontani da loro. 18 Costoro, infatti, non servono Cristo nostro Signore, ma il proprio ventre e con un parlare solenne e lusinghiero ingannano il cuore dei semplici.
19 La fama della vostra obbedienza è giunta dovunque; mentre quindi mi rallegro di voi, voglio che siate saggi nel bene e immuni dal male. 20 Il Dio della pace stritolerà ben presto satana sotto i vostri piedi. La grazia del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo sia con voi.
Ultimi saluti. Secondo post-scriptum
21 Vi saluta Timòteo mio collaboratore, e con lui Lucio, Giasone, Sosìpatro, miei parenti. 22 Vi saluto nel Signore anch'io, Terzo, che ho scritto la lettera. 23 Vi saluta Gaio, che ospita me e tutta la comunità. Vi salutano Erasto, tesoriere della città, e il fratello Quarto.
Dossologia
25 A colui che ha il potere di confermarvi
secondo il vangelo che io annunzio e il messaggio di
Gesù Cristo,
secondo la rivelazione del mistero taciuto per secoli
eterni,
26 ma rivelato ora e annunziato mediante le scritture
profetiche,
per ordine dell'eterno Dio, a tutte le genti
perché obbediscano alla fede,
27 a Dio che solo è sapiente,
per mezzo di Gesù Cristo,
la gloria nei secoli dei secoli. Amen.

1881 Westcott-Hort New Testament
16 συνιστημι δε υμιν φοιβην την αδελφην ημων ουσαν [και] διακονον της εκκλησιας της εν κεγχρεαις
2 ινα προσδεξησθε αυτην εν κυριω αξιως των αγιων και παραστητε αυτη εν ω αν υμων χρηζη πραγματι και γαρ αυτη προστατις πολλων εγενηθη και εμου αυτου
3 ασπασασθε πρισκαν και ακυλαν τους συνεργους μου εν χριστω ιησου
4 οιτινες υπερ της ψυχης μου τον εαυτων τραχηλον υπεθηκαν οις ουκ εγω μονος ευχαριστω αλλα και πασαι αι εκκλησιαι των εθνων
5 και την κατ οικον αυτων εκκλησιαν ασπασασθε επαινετον τον αγαπητον μου ος εστιν απαρχη της ασιας εις χριστον
6 ασπασασθε μαριαν ητις πολλα εκοπιασεν εις υμας
7 ασπασασθε ανδρονικον και ιουνιαν τους συγγενεις μου και συναιχμαλωτους μου οιτινες εισιν επισημοι εν τοις αποστολοις οι και προ εμου γεγοναν εν χριστω
8 ασπασασθε αμπλιατον τον αγαπητον μου εν κυριω
9 ασπασασθε ουρβανον τον συνεργον ημων εν χριστω και σταχυν τον αγαπητον μου
10 ασπασασθε απελλην τον δοκιμον εν χριστω ασπασασθε τους εκ των αριστοβουλου
11 ασπασασθε ηρωδιωνα τον συγγενη μου ασπασασθε τους εκ των ναρκισσου τους οντας εν κυριω
12 ασπασασθε τρυφαιναν και τρυφωσαν τας κοπιωσας εν κυριω ασπασασθε περσιδα την αγαπητην ητις πολλα εκοπιασεν εν κυριω
13 ασπασασθε ρουφον τον εκλεκτον εν κυριω και την μητερα αυτου και εμου
14 ασπασασθε ασυγκριτον φλεγοντα ερμην πατροβαν ερμαν και τους συν αυτοις αδελφους
15 ασπασασθε φιλολογον και ιουλιαν νηρεα και την αδελφην αυτου και ολυμπαν και τους συν αυτοις παντας αγιους
16 ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγιω ασπαζονται υμας αι εκκλησιαι πασαι του χριστου
17 παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι σκοπειν τους τας διχοστασιας και τα σκανδαλα παρα την διδαχην ην υμεις εμαθετε ποιουντας και εκκλινετε απ αυτων
18 οι γαρ τοιουτοι τω κυριω ημων χριστω ου δουλευουσιν αλλα τη εαυτων κοιλια και δια της χρηστολογιας και ευλογιας εξαπατωσιν τας καρδιας των ακακων
19 η γαρ υμων υπακοη εις παντας αφικετο εφ υμιν ουν χαιρω θελω δε υμας σοφους [μεν] ειναι εις το αγαθον ακεραιους δε εις το κακον
20 ο δε θεος της ειρηνης συντριψει τον σαταναν υπο τους ποδας υμων εν ταχει η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου μεθ υμων
21 ασπαζεται υμας τιμοθεος ο συνεργος [μου] και λουκιος και ιασων και σωσιπατρος οι συγγενεις μου
22 ασπαζομαι υμας εγω τερτιος ο γραψας την επιστολην εν κυριω
23 ασπαζεται υμας γαιος ο ξενος μου και ολης της εκκλησιας ασπαζεται υμας εραστος ο οικονομος της πολεως και κουαρτος ο αδελφος
24 25 τω δε δυναμενω υμας στηριξαι κατα το ευαγγελιον μου και το κηρυγμα ιησου χριστου κατα αποκαλυψιν μυστηριου χρονοις αιωνιοις σεσιγημενου
26 φανερωθεντος δε νυν δια τε γραφων προφητικων κατ επιταγην του αιωνιου θεου εις υπακοην πιστεως εις παντα τα εθνη γνωρισθεντος
27 μονω σοφω θεω δια ιησου χριστου [ω] η δοξα εις τους αιωνας αμην
Romans 16
New King James Version
Sister Phoebe Commended
16 I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in (A)Cenchrea, 2 (B)that you may receive her in the Lord (C)in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.
Greeting Roman Saints
3 Greet (D)Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 4 who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5 Likewise greet (E)the church that is in their house.
Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is (F)the firstfruits of [a]Achaia to Christ. 6 Greet Mary, who labored much for us. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the (G)apostles, who also (H)were in Christ before me.
8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. 10 Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. 11 Greet Herodion, my [b]countryman. Greet those who are of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, (I)chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them. 15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16 (J)Greet one another with a holy kiss. [c]The churches of Christ greet you.
Avoid Divisive Persons
17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those (K)who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and (L)avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord [d]Jesus Christ, but (M)their own belly, and (N)by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For (O)your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be (P)wise in what is good, and [e]simple concerning evil. 20 And (Q)the God of peace (R)will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
(S)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Greetings from Paul’s Friends
21 (T)Timothy, my fellow worker, and (U)Lucius, (V)Jason, and (W)Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.
22 I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.
23 (X)Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. (Y)Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. 24 (Z)The[f] grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Benediction
25 [g]Now (AA)to Him who is able to establish you (AB)according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, (AC)according to the revelation of the mystery (AD)kept secret since the world began 26 but (AE)now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for (AF)obedience to the faith— 27 to (AG)God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
