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].
Ahora les recomiendo a nuestra hermana Febe, diaconisa de la iglesia de Cencrea,
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.
para que la reciban en el Señor de una manera digna de los santos, y que le provean lo que necesite. También ella ayudó a muchos e incluso a mí.
3 Tell Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila that I (send greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. They worked with me for Christ Jesus,
Saluden a Prisca y a Aquila, mis compañeros de trabajo en Cristo Jesús,
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].
quienes arriesgaron su propio cuello por mi vida. Tanto las iglesias gentiles como yo les damos las gracias.
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.
Saludos a la iglesia que está en su casa. Saluden a mi amado Epeneto, el primer convertido a Cristo en Asia.

Saluden a María, quien trabajó mucho entre ustedes.
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.
Saluden a Andrónico y a Junia, mis parientes y compañeros de prisión. Para los apóstoles son muy apreciados y fueron creyentes en Cristo antes que yo.
8 I also send my greetings to Ampliatus, who is a dear friend because of his relationship with the Lord.
Saluden a Amplias, amado mío en [el] Señor.
9 I also send my greetings to Urbanus, who works for Christ with us, and to my dear friend Stachys.
Saluden a Urbano, nuestro colaborador en Cristo, y a mi amado Estaquis.
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.
Saluden a Apeles, el aprobado en Cristo. Saluden a los que son de Aristóbulo.
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.
Saluden a Herodión, mi pariente. Saluden a los de la casa de Narciso que están en [el] Señor.
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.
Saluden a Trifena y a Trifosa, las que luchan en el Señor. Saluden a la amada Pérsida, quien trabajó duro en el Señor.
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].
Saluden a Rufo, el escogido en [el] Señor, y a su madre, y mía.
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.
Saluden a Asíncrito, Flegonte, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes y a los hermanos que están con ellos.
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.
Saluden a Filólogo, Julia, Nereo y a su hermana, a Olimpas y a todos [los] santos que están con ellos.
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.
Salúdense los unos a los otros con un beso santo. Saludan todas las iglesias de Cristo.
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!
Les ruego, hermanos, que pongan atención a los que causan disensiones y tropiezos contra la doctrina que ustedes aprendieron. Apártense de ellos.
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].
Porque ellos no son esclavos de nuestro Señor Cristo, sino de su propio apetito. Por medio de palabras suaves y lisonjas engañan a los ingenuos.
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.
Todos reconocen su obediencia, así que me gozo a causa de ustedes. Pero quiero que ustedes sean sabios para lo bueno e ingenuos para lo malo.
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.
El Dios de paz aplastará pronto a Satanás debajo de los pies de ustedes. La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesús sea con ustedes.
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.
Timoteo, mi colaborador, Lucio, Jasón y Sosípater, mis parientes, los saludan.
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].
Yo, Tercio, quien escribió la epístola, los saludo en [el] Señor.
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.)
Gayo, anfitrión mío y de toda la iglesia, los saluda. También Erasto, tesorero de la ciudad, y el hermano Cuarto.
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)
Al que puede establecerlos según las Buenas Noticias y la proclamación de Jesucristo, según [la] revelación del misterio guardado en secreto desde tiempos eternos, (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)
pero manifestado ahora por medio de [las ]Escrituras proféticas, según [el] Mandamiento del Dios eterno, que fue dado a conocer a todos los gentiles para que obedezcan a [la ]fe, (aiōnios g166)
