1 And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea:
2 that ye may receive her in our Lord, as is just for saints; and that ye may assist her, in whatever thing she may ask of you: for she also hath been assistant to many, and to me also.
3 Salute ye Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow-laborers in Jesus Messiah;
4 who, for my life, surrendered their own necks; and to whom, not only I am grateful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5 And give a salutation to the church which is in their house. Salute my beloved Epenetus, who was the first-fruits of Achaia in Messiah.
6 Salute Mary, who hath toiled much with you.
7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my relatives, who were in captivity with me, and are of note among the legates, and were in Messiah before me.
8 Salute Amplias, my beloved in our Lord.
9 Salute Urbanus, a laborer with us in Messiah; and my beloved Stachys.
10 Salute Apelles, chosen in our Lord. Salute the members of the house of Aristobulus.
11 Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute the members of the house of Narcissus, who are in our Lord.
12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who toil in our Lord. Salute my beloved Persis, who toiled much in our Lord.
13 Salute Rufus, chosen in our Lord; and his and my mother.
14 Salute Asyncritus, and Phlegon, and Hermas, and Patrobas, and Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.
15 Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16 Salute one another, with a holy kiss. All the churches of Messiah salute you.
17 And I beseech you, my Brethren, that ye beware of them who cause divisions and stumblings [among you], aside from the doctrine which ye have learned: and that ye stand aloof from them.
18 For they who are such, do not serve our Lord Jesus Messiah, but their own belly: and by bland speeches and good wishes, they beguile the hearts of the simple.
19 But your obedience is known to every one. I therefore rejoice in you: and I would have you be wise in what is good, and blameless in what is evil.
20 And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah, be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow-laborer, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22 I Tertius, who have written this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23 Gaius, hospitable to me and to all the church, saluteth you. Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus a brother, salute you.
25 * Now unto God, who is able to establish you,- (according to my gospel, which is proclaimed concerning Jesus Messiah; and according to the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden from the times that are past,
26 but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith;)
27 [to him] who only is wise, be glory, through Jesus Messiah, for ever and ever: Amen.
24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah, be with you all: Amen. *
End of the epistle to the Romans; which was written from Corinth; and was sent by the hand of Phebe, a faithful servant.
* In the Syriac, the 24th verse is thus placed at the end of the Epistle.
