ROM 16:23 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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

16:23a

Gaius, who has hosted me and all the church, sends you greetings.

Gaius greets you^(plur). He is my host, and he is host to the whole church here.
Gaius gives greetings to you. He accommodates me in his home. He also accommodates all the believers for worship.

Gaius, who has hosted me and all the church, sends you greetings: The words who has hosted me and all the church further describe Gaius. In some languages it is more natural or more clear to translate without using who. For example:

Gaius has hosted me and all the church, and he greets you

Gaius, who has hosted me: This indicates that Paul stayed in Gaius’s house at that time.

hosted…all the church: This phrase refers to Gaius providing a room for all the believers in Corinth to meet. For example:

in whose house the church meets (GNT)

the whole church into his home (CEV)

host of the whole congregation (REB)

16:23b

Erastus, the city treasurer, sends you greetings, as does our brother Quartus.

Erastus, the treasurer of this city, greets you. Our brother Quartus also greets you.
The one who takes care of the money of this city, Erastus, gives greetings to you. A fellow believer, Quartus, also gives greetings to you.

the city treasurer: This refers to someone who manages the money of a city. He receives taxes, fees, and payments and pays for work done such as buildings and roads.

our brother: The Greek is more literally “the brother.” Here in this list of fellow believers, it probably indicates that Quartus is also a fellow believer.
