Romans 16

Personal Greetings

1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church at Cenchrea,[#2Co 3:1; #16:1 Or deacon .; #Ac 18:18]

2that you welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself as well.[#Php 2:29]

17Now I urge you, brothers, to closely watch those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and avoid them.[#2Th 3:6; 1Ti 1:3]

18For such people do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own appetites, and through smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.[#Php 3:19; #Col 2:4]

19Your obedience has become known to all men. Therefore I am glad on your behalf. Yet I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil.[#Ro 1:8; #Mt 10:16]

20The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.[#Ge 3:15; Ro 15:33]

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

21Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you.[#Ac 20:4; #Ac 13:1]

22I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.[#Gal 6:11]

23Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you.[#1Co 1:14]

Erastus, who is the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you.

24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Doxology

25Now to Him who has power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret for long ages past,[#Ro 2:16; #Eph 1:9]

26but now is revealed by the prophetic Scriptures according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all the Gentiles for the obedience of faith,[#Ro 1:2; #Ro 1:5]

27to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever! Amen.[#Ro 11:36; 1Ti 1:17]
