ROM 16:3 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

16:3

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

¶ Greet^(plur) for me Prisca and Aquila, co-workers with me working for Christ Jesus.
¶ Give my greetings of respect to Prisca and Aquila. They do the same work as I do for Jesus, he/who is the Deliverer whom God promised to send.

Greet Prisca and Aquila: In 16:3–15, the people Paul named lived in Rome and were a part of the group of believers there. Paul used the word Greet to indicate that he greeted the people named here.See Dunn (page 891). The named people were likely all people whom Paul already knew. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

My greetings to Prisca and Aquila (NJB)

Give greetings of my respect to Prisca and Aquila

Prisca and Aquila: Prisca was the wife of Aquila (Acts 18:2).

Prisca: Paul used this form of the name. Luke (in Acts) used “Priscilla,” which means “little Prisca,” probably a nickname. Some English versions note the other form of the name in a footnote. Here is an example footnote:

Luke (in Acts) called this woman “Priscilla,” a nickname that means “little Prisca.”

my fellow workers in Christ Jesus: This phrase indicates that Prisca and Aquila did the same work as Paul, evangelizing in various places and helping the believers there. Sometimes they worked together with Paul in the same place and sometimes they worked in some other place. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

my co-workers in Christ Jesus (NIV11)

they do the same work in Christ Jesus as me

in Christ Jesus: Here the word in indicates that the work was for Jesus and his gospel and done by his power.

Christ Jesus: The order of the words Christ Jesus emphasizes that Jesus is the Christ/Messiah. However, in some languages the order Christ Jesus is not natural. If that is true in your language, emphasize, if possible, the fact that Jesus is the Christ in a natural way. For example:

Jesus, who/he is the Christ

Jesus, the Messiah,

See how you translated this phrase in 1:1 or 15:17.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀσπάσασθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάσασθε Πρίσκαν καί Ἀκύλαν τούς συνεργούς μού ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

Greet here and throughout [16:3–16](../16/03.md) is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. Alternate translation: [Please give my greetings to]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Πρίσκαν καὶ Ἀκύλαν

Prisca (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάσασθε Πρίσκαν καί Ἀκύλαν τούς συνεργούς μού ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

The word Prisca is the name of a woman who is also called “Priscilla” in [Acts 18:2](../act/18/02.md). Aquila is the name of her husband.

τοὺς συνεργούς μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάσασθε Πρίσκαν καί Ἀκύλαν τούς συνεργούς μού ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

Here, fellow workers refers to people who work together with Paul to tell other people about Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [who worked with me to preach the gospel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

in Christ Jesus

Here, in Christ Jesus could refer to: (1) the kind of work that Prisca and Aquila did with Paul.
