16:1 Now I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is also a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
16:2 in order that you may welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever task she may have need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, even me myself.
16:3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
16:4 who risked their own necks for my life, for which not only I am thankful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;
16:5 also greet the church in their house. Greet Epenetus my dear friend, who is the first convert of Asia for Christ.
16:9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.
16:10 Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those of the household of Aristobulus.
16:11 Greet Herodion my compatriot. Greet those of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
16:12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, the laborers in the Lord. Greet Persis, the dear friend who has worked hard in the Lord.
16:13 Greet Rufus, the chosen one in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
16:14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers with them.
16:15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
16:17 Now I exhort you, brothers, to look out for those who cause dissensions and temptations contrary to the teaching which you learned, and stay away from them.
16:18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach, and by smooth speech and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
16:19 For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, and I want you to be wise toward what is good, but innocent toward what is evil.
16:20 And in a short time the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
16:21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my compatriots.
16:22 I, Tertius, the one who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.
16:23 Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus the brother.
16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.
