Personal Greetings
16 I commend(A) to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[a][b] of the church in Cenchreae.(B) 2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord(C) in a way worthy of his people(D) and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.
3 Greet Priscilla[c] and Aquila,(E) my co-workers(F) in Christ Jesus.(G) 4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.
5 Greet also the church that meets at their house.(H)
Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert(I) to Christ in the province of Asia.(J)
6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews(K) who have been in prison with me.(L) They are outstanding among[d] the apostles, and they were in Christ(M) before I was.
8 Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.
9 Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ,(N) and my dear friend Stachys.
10 Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test.(O)
Greet those who belong to the household(P) of Aristobulus.
11 Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew.(Q)
Greet those in the household(R) of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord.
Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.
13 Greet Rufus,(S) chosen(T) in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the other brothers and sisters with them.
15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord’s people(U) who are with them.(V)
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(W)
All the churches of Christ send greetings.
17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(X) Keep away from them.(Y) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(Z) but their own appetites.(AA) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(AB) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(AC) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(AD)
20 The God of peace(AE) will soon crush(AF) Satan(AG) under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(AH)
21 Timothy,(AI) my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius,(AJ) Jason(AK) and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.(AL)
22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.
23 Gaius,(AM) whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings.
Erastus,(AN) who is the city’s director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. [24] [e]
25 Now to him who is able(AO) to establish you in accordance with my gospel,(AP) the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery(AQ) hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings(AR) by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from[f] faith(AS)— 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.(AT)

Pablo saluda a sus amigos
16 Les encomiendo a nuestra hermana Febe, quien es diaconisa de la iglesia en Cencrea. 2 Recíbanla en el Señor como digna de honra en el pueblo de Dios. Ayúdenla en todo lo que necesite, porque ella ha sido de ayuda para muchos, especialmente para mí.
3 Den mis saludos a Priscila y Aquila, mis colaboradores en el ministerio de Cristo Jesús. 4 De hecho, ellos una vez arriesgaron la vida por mí. Yo les estoy agradecido, igual que todas las iglesias de los gentiles.[a] 5 Den también mis saludos a la iglesia que se reúne en el hogar de ellos.
Saluden a mi querido amigo Epeneto. Él fue el primero de toda la provincia de Asia que se convirtió en seguidor de Cristo. 6 Denle mis saludos a María, quien ha trabajado tanto por ustedes. 7 Saluden a Andrónico y a Junias,[b] judíos como yo,[c] quienes estuvieron en la cárcel conmigo. Ellos son muy respetados entre los apóstoles y se hicieron seguidores de Cristo antes que yo. 8 Saluden a Amplias, mi querido amigo en el Señor. 9 Saludos también a Urbano, nuestro colaborador en Cristo, y a mi querido amigo Estaquis.
10 Saluden a Apeles, un buen hombre aprobado por Cristo. Y den mis saludos a los creyentes de la familia de Aristóbulo. 11 Saluden a Herodión, judío como yo.[d] Saluden a los de la familia de Narciso que son del Señor. 12 Den mis saludos a Trifena y Trifosa, obreras del Señor, y a la amada Pérsida, quien ha trabajado tanto para el Señor. 13 Saluden a Rufo, a quien el Señor eligió para hacerlo suyo; y también a su querida madre, quien ha sido como una madre para mí.
14 Den mis saludos a Asíncrito, Flegonte, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes y a los hermanos que se reúnen con ellos. 15 Saluden también a Filólogo, Julia, Nereo y su hermana, y a Olimpas y a todos los creyentes[e] que se reúnen con ellos. 16 Salúdense unos a otros con un beso santo. Todas las iglesias de Cristo les envían saludos.
Instrucciones finales de Pablo
17 Y ahora, mis amados hermanos, les pido algo más. Tengan cuidado con los que causan divisiones y trastornan la fe de los creyentes al enseñar cosas que van en contra de las que a ustedes se les enseñaron. Manténganse lejos de ellos. 18 Tales personas no sirven a Cristo nuestro Señor; sirven a sus propios intereses. Con palabras suaves y halagos, engañan a la gente inocente; 19 pero todos saben que ustedes son obedientes al Señor. Eso me llena de alegría. Quiero que sean sabios para hacer lo que está bien y sigan siendo inocentes en cuanto a toda clase de mal. 20 El Dios de paz pronto aplastará a Satanás bajo los pies de ustedes. Que la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesús[f] sea con ustedes.
21 Timoteo, mi compañero de trabajo, les manda saludos, igual que Lucio, Jasón y Sosípater, judíos como yo.
22 Yo, Tercio, quien escribo esta carta de parte de Pablo, también les envío mis saludos como uno de los seguidores del Señor.
23 Los saluda Gayo. Él es quien me hospeda y también recibe en su casa a toda la iglesia. Les envía saludos Erasto, el tesorero de la ciudad, y también el hermano Cuarto.[g]
25 Que toda la gloria sea para Dios, quien puede fortalecerlos tal como expresa la Buena Noticia. En ese mensaje acerca de Jesucristo se ha revelado su plan para ustedes, los gentiles, un plan que estuvo guardado en secreto desde el principio del tiempo. 26 Pero ahora, tal como lo predijeron los profetas[h] y el Dios eterno lo ha ordenado, ese mensaje se da a conocer a todos los gentiles en todas partes, para que ellos también puedan creer y obedecerlo a él. 27 Toda la gloria sea para el único sabio Dios eternamente por medio de Jesucristo. Amén.[i]

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.

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.
