Romans 16:1-14

¹I commend to your care our sister, Phoebe, who is an assistant of the church at Cenchreae;

²and I ask you to give her a Christian welcome — one worthy of Christ's people — and to aid her in any matter in which she may need your assistance. She has proved herself a staunch friend and protector and to many others.

³Give my greeting to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in the cause of Christ Jesus,

⁴who risked their own lives to save mine. It is not I alone who thank them, but all the churches among the Gentiles thank them also.

⁵Give my greeting, also, to the church that meets at their house, as well as to my dear friend Epaenetus, one of the first in Roman Asia to believe in Christ;

⁶to Mary, who worked hard for you;

⁷to Andronicus and Junia, fellow Jews and once my fellow prisoners, who are people of note among the apostles, and who became Christians before I did;

⁸to my dear Christian friend Ampliatus;

⁹to Urban, our fellow worker in the cause of Christ, and to my dear friend Stachys;

¹⁰to that proved Christian Apelles; to the household of Aristobulus;

¹¹to my countryman Herodion; to the Christians in the household of Narcissus;

¹²to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard for the Master; to my dear friend Persis, for she has done much hard work for the Master;

¹³to that eminent Christian, Rufus, and to his mother, who has been a mother to me also;

¹⁴to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and our friends with them;
