16:1 Now I commend to you° Phoebe our sister, who is a servant from the congregation* in Cenchreae, 16:2 in-order-that you° should accept her in the Lord, worthily of the holy-ones, and in-order-that you° should stand beside her in whatever matter she may have need from you°. For* she herself has also become an assistant of many, and of me, myself.


      16:3 Greet° Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 16:4 who risked their own neck on behalf of my life, whom I not only give-thanks, but also all the congregations* of the Gentiles, 16:5 and the congregation* who is in their house. Greet° Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first-fruit of Achaia to Christ. 16:6 Greet° Mary, who labored much *for us. 16:7 Greet° Andronicus and Junias, my relatives and my fellow captives, who are notable even among the apostles, who have also happened to be in Christ before me. 16:8 Greet° Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. 16:9 Greet° Urbanus our fellow worker in Christ and Stachys my beloved. 16:10 Greet° Apelles, the approved, in Christ. Greet° the ones who are from the household of Aristobulus. 16:11 Greet° Herodion my relative. Greet° the ones from the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. 16:12 Greet° Tryphaena and Tryphosa, the ones laboring in the Lord. Greet° the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord. 16:13 Greet° Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 16:14 Greet° Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Hermas, Patrobas and the brethren who are together-with them. 16:15 Greet° Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy-ones who are together-with them. 16:16 Greet° one another with* a holy kiss. The congregations* of Christ greet you°.


      16:17 Now brethren, I am encouraging you°, to note the ones making* {Or: practicing} the dissensions and the offenses contrary to the teaching which you° learned and are practicing, and shun° away from them. 16:18 For* such are not serving* our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and they are deceiving the hearts of the guiltless through their smooth-talk and the speaking well of the guiltless.

      16:19 For* your° obedience has reached out to everyone. Therefore, I rejoice over you°, but I wish you° to be indeed wise as to what is good, and harmless to what is evil. 16:20 Now the God of peace will crush the Adversary under your° feet shortly.


      The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you°.


      16:21 Timothy my fellow worker greets you°, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relatives. 16:22 I, Tertius, who wrote the letter, greet you° in the Lord. 16:23 Gaius greets you°, my host and of the whole congregation*. Erastus the steward of the city greets you° and Quartus the brother. 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with all of you°. Amen.


      {Verses 16:25-27 in the KJV are in the Majority Text as Romans 14:24 - 14:26. These are written here just in case you don’t know this fact.}

      16:25 (14:24) Now to the one who is able to establish you° according-to my good-news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according-to the revelation of the mystery, has been kept-silent in times everlasting, 16:26 (14:25) but now, was manifested, and through the prophetic Scriptures, according-to the commandment of the everlasting God, was made known to all the nations, into the obedience of the faith; 16:27 (14:26) to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, in whom the glory is forever. Amen.
