Romans 16 (WEBP)

[1] I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,
[2] that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
[3] Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
[4] who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles.
[5] Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ.
[6] Greet Mary, who labored much for us.
[7] Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.
[8] Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.
[9] Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
[10] Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.
[11] Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
[12] Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.
[13] Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
[14] Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
[15] Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
[16] Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of Christ greet you.
[17] Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
[18] For those who are such don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
[19] For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
[20] And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
[21] Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
[22] I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.
[23] Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
[24] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.
[25]

Romans 16:1 or, deacon
Romans 16:14 The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
Romans 16:25 TR places at the end of Romans instead of at the end of chapter 14, and numbers these verses 16:25-27.

Romans 16 (KJVS)

[1] I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
[2] that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
[3] Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
[4] who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
[5] Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epænetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
[6] Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
[7] Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
[8] Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
[9] Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
[10] Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ household.
[11] Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
[12] Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
[13] Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
[14] Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.
[15] Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
[16] Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
[17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
[18] For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
[19] For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
[20] And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
[21] Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
[22] I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
[23] Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
[24] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
[25] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
[26] but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
[27] to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.
