Paul’s Commendation of Phoebe
16 I commend to you(A) our sister Phoebe, who is a servant[a] of the church in Cenchreae.(B) 2 So you should welcome her in the Lord(C) in a manner worthy of the saints and assist her in whatever matter she may require your help. For indeed she has been a benefactor of many—and of me also.
Greeting to Roman Christians
3 Give my greetings to Prisca[b] and Aquila,(D) my coworkers in(E) Christ Jesus,(F) 4 who risked their own necks for my life. Not only do I thank them, but so do all the Gentile churches.
5 Greet also the church that meets in their home.(G)
Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who is the first convert[c](H) to Christ from Asia.[d](I)
6 Greet Mary,[e] who has worked very hard for you.[f]
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia,[g] my fellow countrymen(J) and fellow prisoners.(K) They are noteworthy in the eyes of the apostles,[h][i] and they were also in Christ before me.
8 Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.
9 Greet Urbanus, our coworker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.
10 Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ.
Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.(L)
11 Greet Herodion, my fellow countryman.
Greet those who belong to the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard in the Lord.
Greet my dear friend Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.
13 Greet Rufus,(M) chosen in the Lord; also his mother—and mine.
14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.(N)
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(O)
All the churches of Christ send you greetings.
Warning against Divisive People
17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause dissensions and obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have learned.(P) Avoid them,(Q) 18 for such people do not serve our Lord Christ(R) but their own appetites.[j](S) They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.(T)
Paul’s Gracious Conclusion
19 The report of your obedience has reached everyone.(U) Therefore I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good, yet innocent about what is evil.(V) 20 The God of peace(W) will soon crush Satan(X) under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(Y)
21 Timothy,(Z) my coworker, and Lucius,(AA) Jason,(AB) and Sosipater,(AC) my fellow countrymen, greet you.
22 I Tertius, who wrote this letter,(AD) greet you in the Lord.[k]
23 Gaius,(AE) who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus,(AF) the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you.
[24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.][l]
Glory to God
25 Now to Him who has power to strengthen you(AG) according to my gospel and the proclamation about Jesus Christ,(AH) according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent(AI) for long ages(AJ) 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures,(AK) according to the command of the eternal God to advance the obedience of faith[m](AL) among all nations— 27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ—to Him be the glory forever Amen.

16 ¶ Os encomiendo empero a Febe, nuestra hermana, la cual está en el servicio de la Iglesia que está en Cencrea;
2 que la recibáis en el Señor, como es digno a los santos, y la ayudéis en cualquier cosa en que necesite de vosotros; porque ella ha ayudado a muchos, y a mí mismo.
3 Saludad a Priscila y Aquila, mis coadjutores en Cristo Jesús;
4 (que pusieron sus cuellos al degolladero por mi vida; a los cuales no doy gracias yo sólo, mas aun todas las Iglesias de los gentiles);
5 asimismo a la Iglesia de su casa. Saludad a Epeneto, amado mío, (que es) las primicias de Acaya en Cristo.
6 Saludad a María, la cual ha trabajado mucho con vosotros.
7 Saludad a Andrónico y a Junias, mis parientes, (y mis compañeros en la cautividad) los cuales son insignes entre los apóstoles; los cuales fueron antes de mí en Cristo.
8 Saludad a Amplias, amado mío en el Señor.
9 Saludad a Urbano, nuestro ayudador en el Cristo, y a Estaquis, amado mío.
10 Saludad a Apeles, aprobado en Cristo. Saludad a los que son de Aristóbulo.
11 Saludad a Herodión, mi pariente. Saludad a los que son (de la casa de) Narciso, los que son en el Señor.
12 Saludad a Trifena y a Trifosa, las cuales trabajan en el Señor. Saludad a Pérsida amada, la cual ha trabajado mucho en el Señor.
13 Saludad a Rufo, escogido en el Señor, y a su madre y mía.
14 Saludad a Asíncrito, y a Flegonte, a Hermas, a Patrobas, a Mercurio, y a los hermanos que están con ellos.
15 Saludad a Filólogo y a Julia, a Nereo y a su hermana, y a Olimpas, y a todos los santos que están con ellos.
16 Saludaos los unos a los otros con beso santo. Os saludan todas las Iglesias de Cristo.
17 ¶ Y os ruego, hermanos, que miréis por los que causan disensiones y escándalos fuera de la doctrina que vosotros habéis aprendido; y apartaos de ellos.
18 Porque los tales no sirven al Señor nuestro, Jesucristo, sino a sus vientres; y con suaves palabras y bendiciones engañan los corazones de los simples.
19 Porque vuestra obediencia es divulgada por todos los lugares; así que me gozo de vosotros; mas quiero que seáis sabios en cuanto al bien, e inocentes en cuanto al mal.
20 Y el Dios de paz quebrante presto a Satanás debajo de vuestros pies. La gracia del Señor nuestro, Jesucristo, sea con vosotros.
21 ¶ Os saludan Timoteo, mi coadjutor, y Lucio y Jasón y Sosípater, mis parientes.
22 Yo Tercio, que escribí la epístola, os saludo en el Señor.
23 Os saluda Gayo, mi huésped, y de toda la Iglesia. Os saluda Erasto, tesorero de la ciudad, y el hermano Cuarto.
24 La gracia del Señor nuestro, Jesucristo, sea con todos vosotros. Amén.
25 ¶ Y al que puede confirmaros según mi Evangelio y la predicación de Jesucristo, según la revelación del misterio encubierto desde tiempos eternos,
26 pero manifestado ahora, y por las Escrituras de los profetas, por el mandamiento del Dios eterno, declarado a todos los gentiles, para que oigan y obedezcan por la fe;
27 al solo Dios sabio, sea gloria por Jesús, el Cristo, para siempre. Amén.
