“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 wellbeloved 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
fellowprisoners, 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. <<[Written to the Romans from Corinthus, [and
sent] by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.]>>” (Romans 16:1-27
AV)
