16 ENCOMIÉNDOOS empero á Febe nuestra hermana, la cual es diaconisa de la iglesia que está en Cencreas:

Que la recibáis en el Señor, como es digno á los santos, y que la ayudéis en cualquiera cosa en que os hubiere menester: porque ella ha ayudado á muchos, y á mí mismo.

Saludad á Priscila y Aquila, mis coadjutores en Cristo Jesús;

(Que pusieron sus cuellos por mi vida: á los cuales no doy gracias yo sólo, mas aun todas las iglesias de los Gentiles;)

Asimismo á la iglesia de su casa. Saludad á Epeneto, amado mío, que es las primicias de Acaya en Cristo.

Saludad á María, la cual ha trabajado mucho con vosotros.

Saludad á Andrónico y á Junia, mis parientes, y mis compañeros en la cautividad, los que son insignes entre los apóstoles; los cuales también fueron antes de mí en Cristo.

Saludad á Amplias, amado mío en el Señor.

Saludad á Urbano, nuestro ayudador en Cristo Jesús, y á Stachîs, amado mío.

10 Saludad á Apeles, probado en Cristo. Saludad á los que son de Aristóbulo.

11 Saludad á Herodión, mi pariente. Saludad á los que son de la casa de Narciso, los que están en el Señor.

12 Saludad á Trifena y á Trifosa, las cuales trabajan en el Señor. Saludad á Pérsida amada, la cual ha trabajado mucho en el Señor.

13 Saludad á Rufo, escogido en el Señor, y á su madre y mía.

14 Saludad á Asíncrito, y á Flegonte, á Hermas, á Patrobas, á Hermes, y á los hermanos que están con ellos.

15 Saludad á Filólogo y á Julia, á Nereo y á su hermana, y á Olimpas, y á todos los santos que están con ellos.

16 Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo. Os saludan todas las iglesias de Cristo.

17 Y os ruego hermanos, que miréis los que causan disensiones y escándalos contra la doctrina que vosotros habéis aprendido; y apartaos de ellos.

18 Porque los tales no sirven al Señor nuestro Jesucristo, sino á sus vientres; y con suaves palabras y bendiciones engañan los corazones de los simples.

19 Porque vuestra obediencia ha venido á ser notoria á todos; así que me gozo de vosotros; mas quiero que seáis sabios en el bien, y simples en el mal.

20 Y el Dios de paz quebrantará presto á 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 Sosipater, mis parientes.

22 Yo Tercio, que escribí la epístola, os saludo en el Señor.

23 Salúdaos Gayo, mi huésped, y de toda la iglesia. Salúdaos 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, segun la revelación del misterio encubierto desde tiempos eternos,

26 Mas manifestado ahora, y por las Escrituras de los profetas, según el mandamiento del Dios eterno, declarado á todas las gentes para que obedezcan á la fe;

27 Al sólo Dios sabio, sea gloria por Jesucristo para siempre. Amén. enviada por medio de Febe, diaconisa de la iglesia de Cencreas.

Sister Phoebe Commended

16 I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in (A)Cenchrea, (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

Greet (D)Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Likewise greet (E)the church that is in their house.

Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is (F)the firstfruits of [a]Achaia to Christ. Greet Mary, who labored much for us. 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.

Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. 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.

16 And I commend you to Phebe our sister -- being a ministrant of the assembly that [is] in Cenchrea --

that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you -- for she also became a leader of many, and of myself.

Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus --

who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations --

and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ.

Salute Mary, who did labour much for us;

salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord;

salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved;

10 salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the [household] of Aristobulus;

11 salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the [household] of Narcissus, who are in the Lord;

17 And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;

18 for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

19 for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;

20 and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen!

22 I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord;

23 salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,

24 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

25 And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,

26 and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --

27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him [be] glory to the ages. Amen.
