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 unsere Schwester Phöbe, die im Dienst der Gemeinde zu Kenchreä steht:
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.
nehmt sie im Herrn auf, wie es sich für Heilige geziemt, und steht ihr in allen Fällen, wo sie euer bedarf, hilfreich zur Seite; denn sie hat gleichfalls vielen Beistand geleistet, auch mir persönlich.
3 Tell Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila that I (send greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. They worked with me for Christ Jesus,
Grüßt Priska und Aquila, meine Mitarbeiter in Christus Jesus,
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].
die für mein Leben ihren eigenen Hals eingesetzt haben, wofür nicht ich allein ihnen zu Dank verpflichtet bin, sondern auch sämtliche heidenchristlichen Gemeinden;
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.
grüßt auch die Gemeinde in ihrem Hause. Grüßt meinen geliebten Epänetus, der die Erstlingsgabe Asiens für Christus ist.
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.
Grüßt Maria, die sich hingebend für euch gemüht 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.
Grüßt Andronikus und Junias, meine Volksgenossen und (einst) meine Mitgefangenen, die bei den Aposteln in hohem Ansehen stehen und auch schon vor mir in Christus gewesen sind.
8 I also send my greetings to Ampliatus, who is a dear friend because of his relationship with the Lord.
Grüßt meinen im Herrn geliebten Ampliatus.
9 I also send my greetings to Urbanus, who works for Christ with us, and to my dear friend Stachys.
Grüßt Urbanus, unsern Mitarbeiter in Christus, und meinen geliebten Stachys.
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.
Grüßt Apelles, der ein bewährter Jünger Christi ist. Grüßt die Brüder unter den Leuten des Aristobulus.
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.
Grüßt meinen Volksgenossen Herodion. Grüßt diejenigen unter den Leuten des Narcissus, 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.
Grüßt Tryphäna und Tryphosa, die eifrig im Herrn arbeiten. Grüßt die geliebte Persis, die eine treue Arbeiterin im Herrn gewesen ist.
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].
Grüßt den im Herrn auserwählten Rufus und seine Mutter, die auch mir eine Mutter gewesen ist.
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.
Grüßt Asynkritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas und die (anderen) 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.
Grüßt Philologus und Julias, Nereus nebst seiner Schwester, auch 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.
Grüßt einander mit dem heiligen Kuß. Alle Gemeinden Christi lassen euch grüßen.
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, liebe Brüder, auf der Hut vor denen zu sein, welche die Spaltungen und Ärgernisse erregen im Gegensatz zu der Lehre, in der ihr unterwiesen worden seid: geht ihnen aus dem Wege;
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 Menschen dienen nicht unserm Herrn Christus, sondern ihrem Bauche und betören durch ihre schön klingenden Reden und glatten Worte 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.
Die Kunde von eurem (Glaubens-) Gehorsam ist ja zu allen gedrungen. Deshalb habe ich meine Freude an euch, wünsche aber, daß ihr weise seid, wo es das Gute gilt, dagegen einfältig gegenüber dem 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 den Satan unter euren Füßen zertreten, und zwar in Bälde. Die Gnade unsers Herrn Jesus 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 mein Mitarbeiter Timotheus und meine Volksgenossen Lucius, Jason und Sosipater.
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 Schreiber dieses Briefes, 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 Gaius, dessen Gastfreundschaft ich und die ganze Gemeinde genießen. Es grüßen euch der Stadtkämmerer Erastus und der Bruder Quartus.
Die Gnade unsers 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)
Ihm aber, der die Kraft hat, euch (im Glauben) fest zu machen nach meiner Heilsverkündigung und der Predigt von Jesus Christus nach der Offenbarung des Geheimnisses, das ewige Zeiten hindurch verschwiegen geblieben, (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 bekanntgegeben und auch durch prophetische Schriften nach dem Auftrage des ewigen Gottes bei allen Heidenvölkern verkündigt worden ist, um Glaubensgehorsam (bei ihnen) zu wirken: (aiōnios g166)
