[영어 성경] Romans chapter 16

Ro. 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant [Or

deaconess] of the church in Cenchrea.

Ro. 16:2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the

saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for

she has been a great help to many people, including me.

Ro. 16:3 Greet Priscilla [Greek: Prisca, a variant of Priscilla] and

Aquila, my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus.

Ro. 16:4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches

of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Ro. 16:5 Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my

dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in

the province of Asia.

Ro. 16:6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.

Ro. 16:7 Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in

prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles,

and they were in Christ before I was.

Ro. 16:8 Greet Ampliatus, whom I love in the Lord.

Ro. 16:9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Christ, and my dear

friend Stachys.

Ro. 16:10 Greet Apelles, tested and approved in Christ. Greet those

who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Ro. 16:11 Greet Herodion, my relative. Greet those in the household of

Narcissus who are in the Lord.

Ro. 16:12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard

in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who

has worked very hard in the Lord.

Ro. 16:13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has

been a mother to me, too.

the brothers with them.

Ro. 16:15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas

and all the saints with them.

Ro. 16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ

send greetings.

Ro. 16:17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause

divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to

the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

Ro. 16:18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their

own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the

minds of naive people.

Ro. 16:19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy

over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and

innocent about what is evil.

Ro. 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The

grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Ro. 16:21 Timothy, my fellow-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do

Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my relatives.

Ro. 16:22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.

Ro. 16:23 Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy,

sends you his greetings. Erastus, who is the city’s director of

public works, and our brother Quartus send you their

greetings.

Ro. 16:24

[Some manuscripts: their greetings. 24 May the grace of our

Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.]

Ro. 16:25 Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and

the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation

of the mystery hidden for long ages past,

Ro. 16:26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic

writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all

nations might believe and obey him —

Ro. 16:27 to the only wise God be glory for ever through Jesus Christ!

Amen.
