SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–24: Paul greeted the believers in Rome

In this section, Paul told the believers to welcome Phoebe when she arrived in Rome and to help her. It is likely that Phoebe carried this letter to Rome.

Then Paul greeted a number of believers whom he had already met. He often used an encouraging description of the person he was greeting.

Then he encouraged the believers in Rome to welcome one another. He warned them to watch out for people who cause divisions or create problems among the believers. He told them to avoid such people. He reminded them that such people only do things for their own selfish interests. He reminded the believers in Rome that people in many places know that the believers obey God well. He encouraged them by saying that God would soon defeat Satan. He blessed them with the grace of Jesus.

He relayed greetings to them from people who were there with him.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Final Instructions and Greetings (ESV)

He greeted them and instructed them one last time

Paul greeted the believers there

16:21a

Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings,

¶ My co-worker Timothy greets you^(plur),
¶ Timothy, who works together with me, gives greetings to you.

Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings: There is a textual issue in 16:21: (1) Some Greek manuscripts have the word he-greets (BSB, RSV, NIV, GNT, NJB, NASB, NABRE, ESV, REB, NLT, GW, NET, NCV). (2) Some Greek manuscripts have the word they-greet (KJV only). It is recommended that you follow option (1). This phrase indicates that Timothy did the same work as Paul, evangelizing in various places and helping the believers there. Sometimes they worked together in the same place and sometimes they worked separately. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

my co-worker (NIV11)

he does the same work in Christ Jesus as me

See how you translated my fellow worker in 16:9.

16:21b

as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow countrymen.

and my kinsmen Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater do too.
Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my relatives/fellow-Jews, also give greetings to you.

fellow countrymen: The Greek word, can mean either (1) relatives, or (2) fellow citizens.

Some languages must choose one or the other meaning. It is not clear which meaning is more appropriate here. You may want to follow the major language version here.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ συνεργός μου

the fellow-worker (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Τιμόθεος ὁ συνεργός μού καί Λούκιος καί Ἰάσων καί Σωσίπατρος οἱ συγγενεῖς μού)

See how you translated the similar phrase in [16:3](../16/03.md).

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Λούκιος & Ἰάσων & Σωσίπατρος

Lucius & Jason & Sosipater

The words Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater are names of men.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ συγγενεῖς μου

the fellow-citizens (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Τιμόθεος ὁ συνεργός μού καί Λούκιος καί Ἰάσων καί Σωσίπατρος οἱ συγγενεῖς μού)

See how you translated this phrase in [16:7](../16/07.md).

Note 4 topic: writing-endofstory

ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Τιμόθεος ὁ συνεργός μού καί Λούκιος καί Ἰάσων καί Σωσίπατρος οἱ συγγενεῖς μού)

As was customary in this culture, Paul concludes the letter by extending greetings from people who are with him and who know the people to whom he is writing. Your language may have a particular way of sharing greetings in a letter. If so, you can use that form here. Alternate translation: [send you their greetings] or [ask to be remembered to you]
