OET-RV ROM Chapter 16

16 I’m commending our sister Phoebe to you all—she’s a servant in the assembly at Cenchreae. 2 You can accept her in the master as worthy among godly people, and help her with anything she needs because she’s been a supporter of many of us, including myself.

3 [ref]Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my workmates in Messiah Yeshua 4 who risked their lives to save mine. It’s not just me who’s thankful for them, but also all the assemblies of the non-Jews 5 and the assembly that meets in their house.

Greet my dear friend Epenetus who was one of the first in the province of Asia Minor to follow Messiah. 6 Greet Maria who worked hard for you all. 7 Greet Andronicus and sister Junia, my fellow citizens and fellow prisoners with me, and who are notable among the ambassadors in Messiah who started before me.

8 Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the master. 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Messiah, and my dear friend Stachys. 10 Greet Apelles who’s a proven follower of Messiah. Greet those from Aristobulus’ household. 11 Greet Herodion, my fellow citizen. Greet those in Narcissus’ household who are in the master.

12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who’re working for the master. Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked for the master a lot. 13 [ref]Greet Rufus who’s chosen by the master and his mother who also mothered me. 14 Greet Asugkritos, Flegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the other brothers and sisters with them. 15 Greet Filologos, Yulia, Nereus and his sister, and Olumpas and all the godly people there with them.

16 Greet each other with a traditional kiss. All the assemblies of the messiah here send their greetings to all of you.

17 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to beware of those who’re always talking about faults and tempting you all with things that are against what you’ve been taught. Turn away from them 18 because such people are not serving our master Messiah but rather, their own bellies, and they are deceiving innocent people with their smooth speech and ‘blessings’. 19 I’m excited because the story of your obedience has travelled far, but I’m wanting you all to remain wise about what’s good and innocent about evil, 20 then the God of peace will be quickly crushing Satan under your feet.

May the grace from our master Yeshua be with all of you.

21 [ref]My co-worker Timothy sends his greetings as do my fellow-citizens Luke, Jason, and Sosipater.

22 I, Tertios, the one writing down this letter, greet you all in the master.

23 [ref]Gaios who hosts me and all of the assembly here, greets you all.

24 ◘ 25 There’s one who, according to my preaching of the good message and the proclamation of Yeshua Messiah, is able to strengthen you all according to the revelation of the mystery that had been keep silent through the ages. 26 But he’s been there in the prophetic scriptures, and now he’s been revealed according to the command of the eternal God and been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith. 27 Now may the only wise God be honoured through Yeshua Messiah throughout the remaining ages. May it be so.
