Romans Chapter 16

            16:1Now I-commend to-you Phoebe, the sister of-us, being [also]ms (a) servant of-the church [the] in Cenchrea, 2 in-order-that you-welcome her in (the) Lord in-a-way-worthy of-[the] saints and (that you-help her in whatever2 matter she-may-have-need of you; for she also was (a) helper of-many—and └of-me myself.

            3 Greet Priscaf and Aquilam, [the] fellow-workers of-me in Christ Jesus, 4 who for the life of-me risked [the] their-own necks, to-whom not only I am-grateful, but also all the churches of-the Gentiles, 5 and (greet) the church according-to their house. Greet Epaenetus, the beloved-one of-me, who is (the) first-fruit to Christ in Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who worked┘very└hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Juniaf/Juniasm, [the] kinsmen of me and fellow-prisoners of-me, who are well-known among the apostles, who also have-been in Christ before me. 8 Greet Ampliatus, the beloved of-me in (the) Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, the fellow-worker of-us in Christ, and Stachysm, the beloved of-me. 10 Greet Apellesm, the approved-one in Christ. Greet the-ones of the-ones of-Aristobulus. 11 Greet Herodionm, the kinsman of-me. Greet the-ones of the-ones of-Narcissus, the-ones being in (the) Lord. 12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, the-onesf having-labored in (the) Lord. Greet Persisf, the beloved, who labored hard in (the) Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, the chosen in (the) Lord, and the mother of-him and of-me. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobasm, Hermasm, and the brothers with them. 15 Greet Philologus and Juliaf/Juliasm, Nereus and the sister of-him, and Olympasm, and all the saints with them. 16 Greet one-another with (a) holy kiss. All the churches of-[the] Christ greet you.

            17 Now I-urge you, brothers, to-watch the-ones causing [the] divisions and [the] stumbling[s] contrary-to the teaching that you learned, and turn-away from them. 18 For [the] such-people are┘not└serving the Lord of-us Christ but [the] their-own appetites, and by the smooth-talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19 For [the] obedience of-you reached to all. So I-am-rejoicing over you, but I-want you to-be wise to [the] good, and innocent of [the] evil. 20 And the God of-[the] peace will-crush [the] Satan under the feet of-you soon/swiftly. The grace of-the Lord of-us Jesus (be) with you.

            21 Timothy, the fellow-worker of-me, greets you; (as do) also Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, the kinsmen of-me. 22 I, Tertius, the-one having-written the letter, greet you in (the) Lord. 23 Gaiaus, the host of-me and of-the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of-the city, greets you; and (so does) Quartus, the brother.

24-25 Now to-the-One able to-establish you according-to the gospel of-me and the proclaimed-message of-Jesus Christ, according-to (the) revelation of-(the)-mystery kept-secret in eternal times, 26 but now manifested through also (the) scriptures of-(the)-prophets according-to (the) commandment of-the eternal God, having-been-made-known to all the Gentiles, to-(the)-obedience of-faith— 27 to-(the) only wise God through Jesus Christ, to-whom (be) [the] glory forever3. Amen.
