Romans 16
1 I recommend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a deaconess at the Cenchreae church.
And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea:
2 Please welcome her in the Lord, as believers should, and help her in whatever way she needs, because she has been a great help to many people, myself included.
that ye may receive her in our Lord, as is just for saints; and that ye may assist her, in whatever thing she may ask of you: for she also hath been assistant to many, and to me also.
3 Pass on my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus,
Salute ye Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow-laborers in Jesus Messiah;
4 who risked their lives for me. It's not just me who is very thankful for them, but all the churches of the foreigners too.
who, for my life, surrendered their own necks; and to whom, not only I am grateful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5 Please also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home. Pass on my best wishes to my good friend Epaenetus, the first person to follow Christ in the province of Asia.
And give a salutation to the church which is in their house. Salute my beloved Epenetus, who was the first-fruits of Achaia in Messiah.
6 Give my greetings to Mary, who worked hard for you,
Salute Mary, who hath toiled much with you.
7 and also Andronicus and Junia, from my own country and fellow-prisoners. They are well-known among the apostles, and became followers of Christ before me.
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my relatives, who were in captivity with me, and are of note among the legates, and were in Messiah before me.
8 Give my best to Ampliatus, my good friend in the Lord;
Salute Amplias, my beloved in our Lord.
9 to Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ; and to my dear friend Stachys.
Salute Urbanus, a laborer with us in Messiah; and my beloved Stachys.
10 My greetings to Apelles, a trustworthy man in Christ. Greetings to Aristobulus's family,
Salute Apelles, chosen in our Lord. Salute the members of the house of Aristobulus.
11 to my countryman Herodion, and to those from Narcissus' family who belong to the Lord.
Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute the members of the house of Narcissus, who are in our Lord.
12 My best wishes to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, hard workers for the Lord, and to my friend Persis, who has done so much in the Lord.
Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who toil in our Lord. Salute my beloved Persis, who toiled much in our Lord.
13 Give my greetings to Rufus, an exceptional worker, and his mother—who I count as my mother too.
Salute Rufus, chosen in our Lord; and his and my mother.
14 Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the fellow-believers who are with them.
Salute Asyncritus, and Phlegon, and Hermas, and Patrobas, and Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.
15 Best wishes to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, Olympas, and to all the believers with them.
Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16 Greet one another affectionately. All the churches of Christ send their greetings to you.
Salute one another, with a holy kiss. All the churches of Messiah salute you.
17 Now I'm pleading with you my fellow-believers: watch out for those who cause arguments and confuse people about the teachings you learned. Stay away from them!
And I beseech you, my Brethren, that ye beware of them who cause divisions and stumblings among you, aside from the doctrine which ye have learned: and that ye stand aloof from them.
18 These people are not serving Christ our Lord but their own appetites, and by their smooth-talking and pleasant words they deceive the minds of unsuspecting people.
For they who are such, do not serve our Lord Jesus Messiah, but their own belly: and by bland speeches and good wishes, they beguile the hearts of the simple.
19 Everyone knows how faithful you are. This makes me really happy. However, I want you to be wise about what's good, and innocent of anything bad.
But your obedience is known to every one. I therefore rejoice in you: and I would have you be wise in what is good, and blameless in what is evil.
20 The God of peace will soon break the power of Satan and make him subject to you. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah, be with you.
21 Timothy my co-worker sends his greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow-countrymen.
Timothy, my fellow-laborer, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22 Tertius—who wrote down this letter—also sends you greetings in the Lord.
I Tertius, who have written this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23 My host Gaius, and the whole church here, send you greetings. Erastus the city treasurer, sends his best wishes, as does our fellow-believer Quartus.
Gaius, hospitable to me and to all the church, saluteth you. Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus a brother, salute you.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah, be with you all: Amen.
25 Now to him who can make you strong Through the good news I share and the message of Jesus Christ, According to the mystery of truth that has been revealed, The mystery of truth, hidden for eternity, (aiōnios g166)
Now unto God, who is able to establish you, - (according to my gospel, which is proclaimed concerning Jesus Messiah; and according to the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden from the times that are past, (aiōnios g166)
26 now made visible; Through the prophets' writings, and Following the command of the eternal God, The mystery of truth is made known to everyone everywhere so they can trust and obey him; (aiōnios g166)
but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith; ) (aiōnios g166)
