Romans 16:7-21

⁷and also Andronicus and Junia, from my own country and fellow-prisoners. They are well-known among the apostles, and became followers of Christ before me.

⁸Give my best to Ampliatus, my good friend in the Lord;

⁹to Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ; and to my dear friend Stachys.

¹⁰My greetings to Apelles, a trustworthy man in Christ. Greetings to Aristobulus's family,

¹¹to my countryman Herodion, and to those from Narcissus' family who belong to the Lord.

¹²My best wishes to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, hard workers for the Lord, and to my friend Persis, who has done so much in the Lord.

¹³Give my greetings to Rufus, an exceptional worker, and his mother—who I count as my mother too.

¹⁴Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the fellow-believers who are with them.

¹⁵Best wishes to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, Olympas, and to all the believers with them.

¹⁶Greet one another affectionately. All the churches of Christ send their greetings to you.

¹⁷Now I'm pleading with you my fellow-believers: watch out for those who cause arguments and confuse people about the teachings you learned. Stay away from them!

¹⁸These people are not serving Christ our Lord but their own appetites, and by their smooth-talking and pleasant words they deceive the minds of unsuspecting people.

¹⁹Everyone knows how faithful you are. This makes me really happy. However, I want you to be wise about what's good, and innocent of anything bad.

²⁰The God of peace will soon break the power of Satan and make him subject to you. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²¹Timothy my co-worker sends his greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow-countrymen.
