Romans 16
I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae, Verse 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.
Verse 3. Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, Verse 4. who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles. Verse 5. Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ. Verse 6. Greet Mary, who labored much for us. Verse 7. Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me. Verse 8. Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. Verse 9. Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. Verse 10. Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. Verse 11.

Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 20. And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
