The Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans 1467
of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to
the saints.
32 That I may come to you with joy, by the
will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all.
Amen.
Chapter 16
And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is
in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:
2 That you receive her in the Lord as be-
cometh saints; and that you assist her in what-
soever business she shall have need of you. For
she also hath assisted many, and myself also.
3 Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in
Christ Jesus,
4 (Who have for my life laid down their own
necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also
all the churches of the Gentiles,)
5 And the church which is in their house.
Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the first-
fruits of Asia in Christ.
6 Salute Mary, who hath laboured much
among you.
7 Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen
and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the
apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8 Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the
Lord.
9 Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus,
and Stachys, my beloved.
10 Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
11 Salute them that are of Aristobulus’ house-
hold. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute
them that are of Narcissus’ household, who are
in the Lord.
12 Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who
labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly
beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.
13 Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his
mother and mine.
14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Pa-
trobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with
them.
15 Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his
sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are
with them.
16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. All
the churches of Christ salute you.
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them
who make dissensions and offences contrary to
the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid
them.
18 For they that are such, serve not Christ
our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing
speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of
the innocent.
19 For your obedience is published in every
place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would
have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.
20 And the God of peace crush Satan under
your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you,
and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kins-
men.
22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you
in the Lord.
23 Caius, my host, and the whole church,
saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer 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 able to establish you,
according to my gospel, and the preaching of
Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the
mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,
