Chapter 16 (CV)

¹ Now I am commending to you Phoebe, our sister, being a servant also of the ecclesia in Cenchrea,
² that you should be receiving her in the Lord worthily of the saints, and may stand by her in whatever matter she may be needing you, for she became a patroness of many, as well as of myself.
³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus
⁴ (who, for the sake of my soul, jeopardize their own necks, whom not only I am thanking, but all the ecclesias of the nations also)
⁵ and the ecclesia at their house. Greet Epanetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruit of the province of Asia for Christ.
⁶ Greet Mary, who toils much for you.
⁷ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives and my fellow captives who are notable among the apostles, who also came to be in Christ before me.
⁸ Greet Ampliatos, my beloved in the Lord.
⁹ Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
¹⁰ Greet Apelles, attested in Christ. Greet those who are of Aristobulus.
¹¹ Greet Herodion, my relative. Greet those of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
¹² Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who are toiling in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who toils much in the Lord.
¹³ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
¹⁴ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them.
¹⁵ Greet Philologos and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the saints with them.
¹⁶ Greet one another with a holy kiss. Greeting you are all the ecclesias of Christ.
¹⁷ Now I am entreating you, brethren, to be noting those who are making dissensions and snares beside the teaching which you learned, and avoid them,
¹⁸ for such for our Lord Christ are not slaving, but for their own bowels, and through compliments and adulation are deluding the hearts of the innocent.
¹⁹ For your obedience reached out to all. Over you, then, am I rejoicing. Now I am wanting you to be wise, indeed, for good, yet artless for evil.
²⁰ Now the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet swiftly. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you!
²¹ Greeting you is Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relatives.
²² I, Tertius, the writer of the epistle, am greeting you in the Lord.
²³ Greeting you is Gaius, my host, and of the whole ecclesia. Greeting you is Erastus, the administrator of the city, and Quartus, the brother.
²⁵ Now to Him Who is able to establish you in accord with my evangel, and the heralding of Christ Jesus in accord with the revelation of a secret hushed in times eonian,
²⁶ yet manifested now and through prophetic scriptures, according to the injunction of the eonian God being made known to all nations for faith-obedience --
²⁷ to the only, and wise God, through Christ Jesus, be glory for the eons of the eons. Amen!

Chapter 16 (KJV)

¹ I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
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 succourer of many, and of myself also.
³ Greet Priscilla and Aquila 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 Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
⁶ Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
⁸ Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
⁹ Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
¹⁰ Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
¹¹ Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
¹² Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
¹³ Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.
¹⁵ Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
¹⁶ Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences 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 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
²² I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
²³ Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
²⁴ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
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.
