Romans 16:10-27

New King James Version

¹⁰ Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. ¹¹ Greet Herodion, my ^[a]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, ^(A)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 (B)Greet one another with a holy kiss. ^[b]The churches of Christ greet you.

Avoid Divisive Persons

¹⁷ Now I urge you, brethren, note those ^(C)who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and ^(D)avoid them. ¹⁸ For those who are such do not serve our Lord ^[c]Jesus Christ, but ^(E)their own belly, and ^(F)by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. ¹⁹ For ^(G)your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be ^(H)wise in what is good, and ^[d]simple concerning evil. ²⁰ And ^(I)the God of peace ^(J)will crush Satan under your feet shortly.

^(K)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Greetings from Paul’s Friends

^21 (L)Timothy, my fellow worker, and ^(M)Lucius, ^(N)Jason, and ^(O)Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.

²² I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

^23 (P)Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. ^(Q)Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. ^24 (R)The^[e] grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Benediction

^25 [f]Now ^(S)to Him who is able to establish you ^(T)according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ^(U)according to the revelation of the mystery ^(V)kept secret since the world began ²⁶ but ^(W)now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for ^(X)obedience to the faith— ²⁷ to ^(Y)God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
