1Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;[#16:1 Or deaconess]
2that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a benefactor of many, and of myself as well.[#16:2 Or holy ones; #16:2 Lit and of me, myself]
17Now I urge you, brothers, to keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and stumblings contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.
18For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own stomach, and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.[#16:18 Lit belly]
19For the report of your obedience has reached to all. Therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
20And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
T he grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.
23Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother.
24[The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.][#16:24 Early mss omit this v]
25Now to Him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,
26but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the Gentiles, leading to obedience of faith;
27to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.
