Romans 16
Young's Literal Translation
16 And I commend you to Phebe our sister -- being a ministrant of the assembly that [is] in Cenchrea --
2 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.
3 Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus --
4 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 --
5 and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ.
6 Salute Mary, who did labour much for us;
7 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.
8 Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord;
9 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;
12 salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord.
13 Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine,
14 salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them;
15 salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them;
16 salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.
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!
21 Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred;
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.

Personliga hälsningar
16 Vår syster Foibe, som är tjänare i församlingen i Kenchreai, vill jag tala varmt för. 2 Ta väl emot henne, i Herren, på ett sådant sätt som de heliga bör göra. Hjälp henne med allt hon behöver, för hon har varit ett stöd för många, också för mig.
3 Hälsa Prisca och Aquila, mina medarbetare i Kristus Jesus. 4 De har till och med riskerat livet för min skull. Men det är inte bara jag som är tacksam för dem, utan även alla hednakristna församlingar.
5 Hälsa också församlingen som möts i deras hus.
Hälsa min gode vän Epainetos, som var den första i provinsen Asien[a] som började tro på Kristus.
6 Hälsa också Maria, som har arbetat så hårt för er.
7 Hälsa Andronikos och Junias, som båda är mina landsmän och har suttit i fängelse tillsammans med mig. De är apostlar åt Kristus och är mycket uppskattade av alla, och de började tro på Kristus före mig.
8 Hälsa Ampliatus, som jag älskar i Herren.
9 Hälsa Urbanus, vår medarbetare i Kristus, och min käre Stachys.
10 Hälsa Apelles, som har bestått provet i Kristus.
Hälsa också alla hos Aristoboulos.
11 Hälsa Herodion, min landsman.
Hälsa alla dem hos Narkissos som tillhör Herren.
12 Hälsa Tryfaina och Tryfosa, som arbetar med att tjäna Herren, och den kära Persis, som har arbetat så hårt för att tjäna Herren.
13 Hälsa Rufus, som Herren har utvalt, och hans mor, som är som en mor också för mig.
14 Hälsa Asynkritos, Flegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas och de troende syskon som är tillsammans med dem.
15 Hälsa Filologos, Julia, Nereus och hans syster, Olympas och alla de andra heliga som är tillsammans med dem.
16 Hälsa varandra med en helig kyss.[b]
Alla Kristus församlingar hälsar till er.
En sista förmaning
17 Slutligen vill jag uppmana er, syskon: Akta er för dem som orsakar splittring och får människor på fall genom att undervisa sådant som strider mot det ni har fått lära er. Håll er borta från dem! 18 Sådana människor tjänar inte vår Herre Kristus, utan sina egna magar.[c] Med sina vackra ord och sitt smicker förleder de godtrogna människors hjärtan.
19 Alla känner ju till er lydnad, och det gör mig mycket glad. Men jag önskar att ni ska vara uppfinningsrika i allt gott, och okunniga i allt ont.
20 Fridens Gud ska snart krossa Satan under era fötter.
Nåd från vår Herre Jesus Kristus åt er alla.
21 Min medarbetare Timotheos hälsar till er, och det gör också mina landsmän Lucius, Jason och Sosipatros.
22 Även jag, Tertius, som har skrivit ner det här brevet,[d] hälsar till er i Herren.
23 Gaius hälsar till er. Det är i hans hus jag bor, och där träffas också hela församlingen.
Stadskassören Erastos hälsar till er, och det gör också Quartus, en annan av de troende.[e]
Avslutande hyllning till Gud
25 Honom som förmår styrka er genom det evangelium som jag förkunnar om Jesus Kristus, den avslöjade hemlighet, som har legat gömd sedan tidens början 26 men nu har uppenbarats genom profetiska skrifter på den evige Gudens befallning, för att alla folk ska kunna tro och lyda honom, 27 Gud, den ende som är vis, honom tillhör äran genom Jesus Kristus i all evighet. Amen.

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.

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.

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.
