Chapter 16.
I commend unto you Phoebe, our sister, which is a servant of the church which is
at Zincria, that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye
assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you.
For she hath been a succorer of many, and of myself also.
Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus, who have for my life laid
down their own acts, unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of
the Gentiles.
Likewise greet the church that is in their house.
Salute my well-beloved Epinatus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto
Christ.
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note
among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
Greet Amplius, my beloved in the Lord.
Salute Urbain, our helper in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
Salute them which are of Aristobulus's household.
Salute Herodion, my kinsmen.
Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord.
Salute the beloved Persis, which labored much in the Lord.
Salute Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, and mine.
Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrabas, Hermes, and the brethren which
are with them.
Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympus, and all the
saints which are with them.
Salute one another with unholy kiss.
The churches of Christ salute you.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly,
and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
For your obedience has come abroad unto all men.
I am glad therefore on your behalf, but yet I would have you wise unto that
which is good and simple concerning evil.
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Amen.
Timotheus, my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Socipiter, my kinsmen,
salute you.
I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
Gaius, mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.
Erastus, the chamberlain of the city, saluteeth you.
And Cortus, a brother.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest,
and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the
everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith, to God only
wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever.
Amen.
Written to the Romans from Corinthus and sent by Phoebe, servant of the church at Sencria.
