Romans 16:1-16 - Many Personal Greetings

1 I commend to your care our Sister, Phoebe, who helps in the work of the Church at Cenchreae; 2 And 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 to me and to many others.

3 Give my greeting to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in the Cause of Christ Jesus, 4 Who 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. 5 Give 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; 6 To Mary, who worked hard for you; 7 To Andronicus and Junias, my countrymen and once my fellow- prisoners, who are men of note among the Apostles, and who became Christians before I did; 8 To my dear Christian friend Ampliatus; 9 To Urban, our fellow-worker in the Cause of Christ, and to my dear friend Stachys; 10 To that proved Christian Apelles; to the household of Aristobulus; 11 To my countryman Herodion; to the Christians in the household of Narcissus; 12 To 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; 13 To that eminent Christian, Rufus, and to his mother, who has been a mother to me also; 14 To Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the Brothers with them; 15 Also to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and to all Christ's People who are with them. 16 Greet one another with a sacred kiss. All the Churches of the Christ send you greetings.
