Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN 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

16:10a

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ.

Greet^(plur) Apelles, whom God has approved in Christ.
Give my greetings of respect to Apelles. He was tested in his faith in Christ and God approved him.

Apelles, who is approved in Christ: The words who is approved in Christ further describe Apelles. To make it a description, some languages must avoid the word who. For example:

Apelles. He is approved in Christ

Apelles: This name refers to a man.

who is approved in Christ: This clause is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

whom God approved in Christ

Apelles. God approved him in Christ

approved in Christ: The Greek word that the BSB translates as approved refers to accepting something as genuine or good based on testing it.BDAG, sense 1. The words in Christ probably imply that Apelles was tested in his faith in Jesus and stayed faithful to him and so God approved of him. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

tested and approved in Christ (NIV84)

who was tested and proved that he truly loves Christ (NCV)

16:10b

Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Greet the household of Aristobulus.
Give my greetings of respect to the family of Aristobulus.

those who belong to the household of Aristobulus: The Greek is more literally “the ones of the ones of Aristobulus.” This refers to his family, but probably not Aristobulus himself. For example:

who belong to the family of Aristobulus (ESV)

the household of Aristobulus (REB)

Aristobulus: This name refers to a man.
