Chapter 16

  I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,  

--

  that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.  

--

  Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,  

--

  who for my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles.  

--

  Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Christ.  

--

  Greet Mary, who labored much for us.  

--

  Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.  

--

  Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.  

--

  Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.  

--

  Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.  

--

  Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.  

--

  Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.  

--

  Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.  

--

  Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.  

--

  Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.  

--

  Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of Christ greet you.  

--

  Now I beg you, brothers, mark those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.  

--

  For those who are such don't serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.  

--

  For your obedience has reached all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise to that which is good, but innocent to that which is evil.  

--

  Now the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet swiftly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  

--

  Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.  

--

  I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.  

--

  Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.  

--

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