Romans 16
1 [By means of this letter] I am introducing and recommending to you our fellow believer Phoebe, [who will be taking this letter to you]. She is a deacon in the congregation in Cenchrea [city].
Ich empfehle euch aber Phöbe, unsere Schwester, welche eine Dienerin der Versammlung in Kenchreä ist,
2 [I request that] you receive her because of her relationship with the Lord. [You should do that because] those who are God’s people ought to receive [their fellow believers]. [I am also requesting] that you help her [by giving her] [EUP] whatever she needs, because she has helped many people, including me.
auf daß ihr sie in dem Herrn, der Heiligen würdig, aufnehmet und ihr beistehet, in welcher Sache irgend sie euer bedarf; denn auch sie ist vielen ein Beistand gewesen, auch mir selbst.
3 Tell Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila that I (send greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. They worked with me for Christ Jesus,
Grüßet Priska und Aquila, meine Mitarbeiter in Christo Jesu,
4 and they were even willing to die [IDM] in order [to save] my life. It is not only I who thank them [for helping me], but the people in all [HYP] the non-Jewish congregations also [thank them for saving my life].
(welche für mein Leben ihren eigenen Hals preisgegeben haben, denen nicht allein ich danke, sondern auch alle Versammlungen der Nationen)
5 Also tell the congregation [that meets] in their house that I (send my greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. Tell my dear friend Epaenetus the same thing. He is the first man in Asia [province] who [believed] in Christ.
und die Versammlung in ihrem Hause. Grüßet Epänetus, meinen Geliebten, welcher der Erstling Asiens ist für Christum.
6 Tell Mary, who has worked hard [for Christ] in order to [help] you, that I (send my greetings to/am thinking fondly of) her.
Grüßet Maria, die sehr für euch gearbeitet hat.
7 Tell the same thing to Andronicus and [his wife] Junia (OR, and [his sister] Junia) who are my fellow Jews and who were also [previously] in prison with me. They are well-known/respected (OR, respected by the) apostles, and they became Christians before I did.
Grüßet Andronikus und Junias, meine Verwandten und meine Mitgefangenen, welche unter den Aposteln ausgezeichnet sind, die auch vor mir in Christo waren.
8 I also send my greetings to Ampliatus, who is a dear friend because of his relationship with the Lord.
Grüßet Amplias, meinen Geliebten im Herrn.
9 I also send my greetings to Urbanus, who works for Christ with us, and to my dear friend Stachys.
Grüßet Urbanus, unseren Mitarbeiter in Christo, und Stachys, meinen Geliebten.
10 I also send my greetings to Apelles, whom Christ has approved [because Apelles successfully endured trials]. Tell the [believers] who [live in the house] of Aristobulus that I send my greetings to them.
Grüßet Apelles, den Bewährten in Christo. Grüßet die von Aristobulus' Hause.
11 Also tell Herodion, who is my fellow Jew, that I send my greetings to him. Tell the same thing to those who [live in the house] of Narcissus who belong to the Lord.
Grüßet Herodion, meinen Verwandten. Grüßet die von Narcissus' Hause, die im Herrn sind.
12 Tell the same thing to Tryphaena and [her sister] Tryphosa, who work hard for the Lord. I also send my greetings to Persis. [We all] love her and she has worked very hard for the Lord.
Grüßet Tryphäna und Tryphosa, die im Herrn arbeiten. Grüßet Persis, die Geliebte, die viel gearbeitet hat im Herrn.
13 Tell Rufus, who is an outstanding Christian, that I send my greetings to him. [Tell the same thing to] his mother, [who has treated me as though] I [were her son] [MET].
Grüßet Rufus, den Auserwählten im Herrn, und seine und meine Mutter.
14 Tell Asyncritus and Phlegon and Hermes and Patrobas and Hermas and the fellow believers who [meet] with them that I am sending my greetings to them.
Grüßet Asynkritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas und die Brüder bei ihnen.
15 I also send my greetings to Philologus, to [his wife] Julia (OR, [his sister] Julia), to Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas, and to all God’s people who [meet] with them.
Grüßet Philologus und Julias, Nereus und seine Schwester und Olympas und alle Heiligen bei ihnen.
16 Greet one another affectionately, but in a pure way, [when you gather together]. The [believers in] all the Christian congregations [HYP] [in this area (send their] greetings to/say they are thinking fondly of) you.
Grüßet einander mit heiligem Kuß. Es grüßen euch alle Versammlungen des Christus.
17 My fellow believers, I exhort you that you beware of those people who are causing divisions among you and who cause people to turn away [from God] [MTY] [because they teach things that] are contrary to the message [about Christ] that you have learned (OR, that others taught you). Keep away from such people!
Ich ermahne euch aber, Brüder, daß ihr achthabet auf die, welche Zwiespalt und Ärgernis anrichten, entgegen der Lehre, die ihr gelernt habt, und wendet euch von ihnen ab.
18 They do not serve our Lord Christ! On the contrary, they only want to satisfy their own desires [MTY]! Also, by all the eloquent things that they say [DOU] they deceive those people who do not realize [that their teaching is false].
Denn solche dienen nicht unserem Herrn Christus, sondern ihrem eigenen Bauche, und durch süße Worte und schöne Reden verführen sie die Herzen der Arglosen.
19 [Believers] everywhere know that you have paid attention to [the good message about Christ], with the result that I rejoice about you. But I also want you to be wise, [with the result that you do] what is good. I also want you to avoid doing what is evil.
Denn euer Gehorsam ist zu allen hingelangt. Daher freue ich mich eurethalben; ich will aber, daß ihr weise seid zum Guten, aber einfältig zum Bösen.
20 [If you avoid people who teach what is false], what will [soon happen] [MET] [will be as though] God, who causes us to be peaceful, will be crushing Satan under your feet! [I pray that] our Lord Jesus will continue to act kindly towards you.
Der Gott des Friedens aber wird in kurzem den Satan unter eure Füße zertreten. Die Gnade unseres Herrn Jesus Christus sei mit euch!
21 Timothy, who works with me, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are my fellow Jews, [want you to know that they are] (sending their greetings to/thinking fondly of) you.
Es grüßen euch Timotheus, mein Mitarbeiter, und Lucius und Jason und Sosipater, meine Verwandten.
22 I, Tertius, [one who belongs to] the Lord, [also want you to know] that I am (sending my greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. [I am writing this letter as Paul tells me what to write for him].
Ich, Tertius, der ich den Brief geschrieben habe, grüße euch im Herrn.
23 I, [Paul], am staying in the house of Gaius, and the whole congregation [here meets] in his house. He [also wants you to know] that he is (sending his greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. Erastus, the treasurer of [this] city, also [wants you to know that] he is (sending his greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. Our fellow believer Quartus also (sends his greetings to you./says he is thinking fondly of you.)
Es grüßt euch Gajus, mein und der ganzen Versammlung Wirt. Es grüßen euch Erastus, der Stadtrentmeister, und der Bruder Quartus.
Die Gnade unseres Herrn Jesus Christus sei mit euch allen! Amen.
25 As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios g166)
Dem aber, der euch zu befestigen vermag nach meinem Evangelium und der Predigt von Jesu Christo, nach der Offenbarung des Geheimnisses, das in den Zeiten der Zeitalter verschwiegen war, (aiōnios g166)
26 but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios g166)
jetzt aber geoffenbart und durch prophetische Schriften, nach Befehl des ewigen Gottes, zum Glaubensgehorsam an alle Nationen kundgetan worden ist, (aiōnios g166)
