Romans 16
New King James Version
Sister Phoebe Commended
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.
Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is (F)the firstfruits of [a]Achaia to Christ. 6 Greet Mary, who labored much for us. 7 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.
8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. 9 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.

保罗最后的话
16 我向你们推荐我们的姐妹非比，她是坚革哩教堂的女执事。 2 我希望你们依照上帝子民应尽的本份，在主内接纳她。无论她需要你们做什么，都要帮助她。她帮助过许多人，也帮助过我。
3 请问候百基拉和亚居拉，他们在耶稣基督里是我的同事。 4 他们冒着生命危险救过我的生命。不只是我要感谢他，所有外族人的教会也都感谢他们， 5 并请问候他们家中的教会。
请问候我亲爱的朋友以拜尼土，他是亚西亚第一个皈依基督的人。 6 请问候为你们辛勤工作的马利亚。 7 请问候我的亲属安多尼古和犹尼亚，他们是犹太同胞，是和我一起坐牢的狱友，他们在使徒中是卓越的，并且比我先成为基督的信徒。 8 请问候在主内我亲爱的朋友暗伯利。 9 请问候耳巴奴，他在基督里，是我们的同事。请问候我亲爱的朋友士大古。 10 请问候亚比利，他经受了考验，是真正的基督教徒。请问候亚利多布的家人。 11 请问候希罗天，他是犹太人同胞。请问候拿其数的家人，他们与主在一起。 12 请问候土非拿和土富撒，这两位妇女在主内辛勤地工作着。请问候我亲爱的朋友彼息，她也在主内辛勤地工作着。 13 请问候鲁孚，他是一位杰出的信徒，也请问候他的母亲，她待我像自己的儿子一样。 14 请问候亚逊其土、弗勒干、黑米、八罗巴、黑马和他们的兄弟们。 15 请问候非罗罗古、犹利亚、尼利亚和他的姐妹、以及阿林巴和与他们在一起的所有上帝的子民， 16 请用圣吻问候他们。所有的基督教会都向你们问候。
17 我请求你们，兄弟们，提防离间你们、扰乱你们的信仰、与你们所接受的教导背道而驰的人，离他们远远的。 18 因为那种人不为我们的主耶稣基督服务，只做符合他们胃口的事情。他们用花言巧语欺骗纯洁的心灵。 19 所有的信徒都知道你们是多么地顺从！我为你们而高兴，我要你们在好事上聪明，坏事上无知。
20 上帝是和平的源泉，他很快会让撒旦在你们的脚下被踩得粉身碎骨。
愿主耶稣的恩典与你们同在。
21 提摩太，我的同事，还有同胞路求、耶孙和所西巴德，都向你们问候。
22 我，代笔替保罗写下这封信的德丢，也在主内问候你们。
23 那位接待我，又让教会在他家聚会的该犹也向你们问候。城市的财政官以拉都和我们的兄弟括土也问候你们。 24 愿我们的主耶稣基督赐恩典与你们同在！阿们。 [a]
25 ［愿荣耀属于上帝。上帝用我所传授的福音使你们更坚强，这福音是关于耶稣基督的信息，启示了那隐藏了许多年的奥秘。 26 这奥秘现在已由先知的著述而公诸于世，并且按照永恒上帝的命令，让外族人知晓，为的是使他们相信并服从上帝。 27 愿通过耶稣基督，荣耀永远属于英明的、独一无二的上帝。阿们！］
