< Romans 16 >
1 I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the church that is at Cenchreae,
Συνίστημι δὲ ὑμῖν Φοίβην τὴν ἀδελφὴν ἡμῶν, οὖσαν ⸀καὶδιάκονον τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἐν Κεγχρεαῖς,
2 that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
ἵνα ⸂αὐτὴν προσδέξησθε ἐν κυρίῳ ἀξίως τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ παραστῆτε αὐτῇ ἐν ᾧ ἂν ὑμῶν χρῄζῃ πράγματι, καὶ γὰρ αὐτὴ προστάτις πολλῶν ἐγενήθη καὶ ⸂ἐμοῦ αὐτοῦ.
3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
Ἀσπάσασθε Πρίσκαν καὶ Ἀκύλαν τοὺς συνεργούς μου ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
4 who for my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the non-Jewish people.
οἵτινες ὑπὲρ τῆς ψυχῆς μου τὸν ἑαυτῶν τράχηλον ὑπέθηκαν, οἷς οὐκ ἐγὼ μόνος εὐχαριστῶ ἀλλὰ καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τῶν ἐθνῶν,
5 Greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Asia to Christ.

6 Greet Mary, who labored much for you.

7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my compatriots and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
ἀσπάσασθε Ἀνδρόνικον καὶ ⸀Ἰουνίαντοὺς συγγενεῖς μου καὶ συναιχμαλώτους μου, οἵτινές εἰσιν ἐπίσημοι ἐν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις, οἳ καὶ πρὸ ἐμοῦ ⸀γέγονανἐν Χριστῷ.
8 Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
ἀσπάσασθε Οὐρβανὸν τὸν συνεργὸν ἡμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ καὶ Στάχυν τὸν ἀγαπητόν μου.
10 Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.
ἀσπάσασθε Ἀπελλῆν τὸν δόκιμον ἐν Χριστῷ. ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἐκ τῶν Ἀριστοβούλου.
11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
ἀσπάσασθε Ἡρῳδίωνα τὸν ⸀συγγενῆμου. ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἐκ τῶν Ναρκίσσου τοὺς ὄντας ἐν κυρίῳ.
12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.
ἀσπάσασθε Τρύφαιναν καὶ Τρυφῶσαν τὰς κοπιώσας ἐν κυρίῳ. ἀσπάσασθε Περσίδα τὴν ἀγαπητήν, ἥτις πολλὰ ἐκοπίασεν ἐν κυρίῳ.
13 Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
ἀσπάσασθε Ῥοῦφον τὸν ἐκλεκτὸν ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμοῦ.
14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
ἀσπάσασθε Ἀσύγκριτον, Φλέγοντα, ⸂Ἑρμῆν, Πατροβᾶν, Ἑρμᾶν⸃ καὶ τοὺς σὺν αὐτοῖς ἀδελφούς.
15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
ἀσπάσασθε Φιλόλογον καὶ Ἰουλίαν, Νηρέα καὶ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ὀλυμπᾶν καὶ τοὺς σὺν αὐτοῖς πάντας ἁγίους.
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
Ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ. Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς αἱ ἐκκλησίαι ⸀πᾶσαιτοῦ Χριστοῦ.
17 Now I appeal to you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, σκοπεῖν τοὺς τὰς διχοστασίας καὶ τὰ σκάνδαλα παρὰ τὴν διδαχὴν ἣν ὑμεῖς ἐμάθετε ποιοῦντας, καὶ ⸀ἐκκλίνετεἀπʼ αὐτῶν·
18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
οἱ γὰρ τοιοῦτοι τῷ κυρίῳ ⸀ἡμῶνΧριστῷ οὐ δουλεύουσιν ἀλλὰ τῇ ἑαυτῶν κοιλίᾳ, καὶ διὰ τῆς χρηστολογίας καὶ εὐλογίας ἐξαπατῶσι τὰς καρδίας τῶν ἀκάκων.
19 For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
ἡ γὰρ ὑμῶν ὑπακοὴ εἰς πάντας ἀφίκετο· ⸂ἐφʼ ὑμῖν οὖν χαίρω, θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ⸀σοφοὺςεἶναι εἰς τὸ ἀγαθόν, ἀκεραίους δὲ εἰς τὸ κακόν.
20 And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης συντρίψει τὸν Σατανᾶν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν ἐν τάχει. ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ ⸀Χριστοῦμεθʼ ὑμῶν.
21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
⸀Ἀσπάζεταιὑμᾶς Τιμόθεος ὁ συνεργός μου, καὶ Λούκιος καὶ Ἰάσων καὶ Σωσίπατρος οἱ συγγενεῖς μου.
22 I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius, my host and host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Γάϊος ὁ ξένος μου καὶ ⸂ὅλης τῆς ἐκκλησίας. ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Ἔραστος ὁ οἰκονόμος τῆς πόλεως καὶ Κούαρτος ὁ ἀδελφός.
⸂Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν⸃ ⸀Ἀμήν
25 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, (aiōnios )
26 but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; (aiōnios )
27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen. (aiōn )
