Chapter 16
1 I commend to you Phoebe , our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,
2 that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you , for she herself also has been a helper of many , and of my own self.
3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus ,
4 who risked their own necks for my life , to whom not only I give thanks , but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles .
5 Greet the assembly that is in their house . Greet Epaenetus , my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ .
6 Greet Mary , who laboured much for us .
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia , my relatives and my fellow prisoners , who are notable amongst the apostles, who were also in Christ before me .
8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord .
9 Greet Urbanus , our fellow worker in Christ , and Stachys , my beloved.
10 Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ . Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.
11 Greet Herodion , my kinsman . Greet them of the household of Narcissus , who are in the Lord .
12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa , who labour in the Lord . Greet Persis , the beloved, who laboured much in the Lord .
13 Greet Rufus , the chosen in the Lord , and his mother and mine .
14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon , Hermes , Patrobas , Hermas , and the brothers who are with them .
15 Greet Philologus and Julia , Nereus and his sister, and Olympas , and all the saints who are with them .
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss . The assemblies of Christ greet you .
17 Now I beg you , brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling , contrary to the doctrine which you learnt, and turn away from them .
18 For those who are such don’ t serve our Lord Jesus Christ , but their own belly ; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
19 For your obedience has become known to all . I rejoice therefore over you . But I desire to have you wise in that which is good , but innocent in that which is evil .
20 And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet . The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you .
21 Timothy , my fellow worker , greets you , as do Lucius , Jason , and Sosipater , my relatives .
22 I , Tertius , who write the letter , greet you in the Lord .
23 Gaius , my host and host of the whole assembly , greets you . Erastus , the treasurer of the city , greets you , as does Quartus , the brother.
24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all ! Amen.
