Romans 16
Personal
Greetings |
1 |
I commend unto you Phoebe our sister,
which is a servant of the church which is at Cen'chre-ae:
|
2 |
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.
|
3 |
Greet Priscilla and Aquila, Acts
18.2 my helpers in Christ Jesus:
|
4 |
who have for my life laid down their own
necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches
of the Gentiles.
|
5 |
Likewise greet the church that is
in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epe'netus, who is the
firstfruits of Achai'a unto Christ.
|
6 |
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on
us.
|
7 |
Salute Andron'icus and Ju'ni-a, my
kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the
apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
|
8 |
Greet Am'pli-as, my beloved in the
Lord.
|
9 |
Salute Ur'bane, our helper in Christ, and
Stachys my beloved.
|
10 |
Salute Apel'les approved in Christ.
Salute them which are of Aristob'ulus' household.
|
11 |
Salute Hero'di-on my kinsman. Greet them
that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the
Lord.
|
12 |
Salute Tryphae'na and Trypho'sa, who
labor in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which labored much in
the Lord.
|
13 |
Salute Rufus Mk. 15.21 chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
|
14 |
Salute Asyn'critus, Phlegon, Hermas,
Pat'robas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.
|
15 |
Salute Philol'ogus, and Julia, Ne'reus,
and his sister, and Olym'pas, and all the saints which are with
them.
|
16 |
Salute one another with a holy kiss. The
churches of Christ salute you.
|
17 |
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them
which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye
have learned; and avoid them.
|
18 |
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.
|
19 |
For your obedience is 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.
|
20 |
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan
under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
|
21 |

kinsmen, salute you.
|
22 |
I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
|
23 |

Tim. 4.20 the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and
Quartus a brother.
|
24 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
|
Concluding
Doxology |
25 |
Now to him that is of power to stablish
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,
|
26 |
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:
|
27 |
to God only wise, be glory through
Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
