Romans 16

Revised Geneva Translation

16 I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the Church of Cenchrea;

² that you receive her in the Lord (as it becomes Saints) and that you assist her in whatever matter she has need of you. For she has given hospitality to many, and to me also.

³ Greet Priscilla, and Aquila, my fellow helpers in Christ Jesus.

⁴ (who have laid down their own neck for my life; unto whom not I only give thanks, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles.)

⁵ Likewise, greet the Church that is in their house. Salute my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia in Christ.

⁶ Greet Mary, who has worked hard for us.

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junia, my cousins and fellow prisoners, who are notable among the Apostles, and were in Christ before me.

⁸ Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

⁹ Salute Urbanus, our fellow helper in Christ; and Stachys, my beloved.

¹⁰ Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. Salute those who are Aristobulus’ friends.

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

¹² Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who labor in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, a woman who works hard in the Lord.

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

¹⁴ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Mercurius, and the brothers who are with them.

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

¹⁶ Salute one another with a holy kiss. The Churches of Christ salute you.

¹⁷ Now I urge you, brothers, mark carefully those who cause division and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and avoid them.

¹⁸ For such as they do not serve the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own bellies; and deceive the hearts of the simple with fair speech and flattering.

¹⁹ For your obedience has spread among all. Therefore, I am glad for you. But yet, I wish you to be wise to that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

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

²¹ Timothy, my helper, and Lucius and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

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

²³ Gaius, my host, and of the whole Church, salutes you. Erastus, the steward of the city, salutes you; and Quartus, a brother.

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

²⁵ Now, to Him Who is able to establish you according to my Gospel (and to the preaching of Jesus Christ) by the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began

²⁶ (but now, at the Commandment of the everlasting God, is made visible and known among all nations by the Scriptures of the Prophets, for the obedience of faith);

²⁷ to God, only wise, be praise, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.

(Written to the Romans from Corinth, and sent by Phoebe, servant of the church which is at Cenchrea.)
