Personal Greetings (ROM 16:1-16)

[16:1] I recommend to you our sister Phoebe, who serves the church at Cenchreae.

[16:2] Receive her in the Lord's name, as God's people should, and give her any help she may need from you; for she herself has been a good friend to many people and also to me.

[16:3] I send greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in the service of Christ Jesus;

[16:4] they risked their lives for me. I am grateful to them—not only I, but all the Gentile churches as well.

[16:5] Greetings also to the church that meets in their house. Greetings to my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first in the province of Asia to believe in Christ.

[16:6] Greetings to Mary, who has worked so hard for you.

[16:7] Greetings also to Andronicus and Junia, fellow Jews who were in prison with me; they are well known among the apostles, and they became Christians before I did.

[16:8] My greetings to Ampliatus, my dear friend in the fellowship of the Lord.

[16:9] Greetings also to Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ's service, and to Stachys, my dear friend.

[16:10] Greetings to Apelles, whose loyalty to Christ has been proved. Greetings to those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.

[16:11] Greetings to Herodion, a fellow Jew, and to the Christians in the family of Narcissus.

[16:12] My greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who work in the Lord's service, and to my dear friend Persis, who has done so much work for the Lord.

[16:13] I send greetings to Rufus, that outstanding worker in the Lord's service, and to his mother, who has always treated me like a son.

[16:14] My greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the other Christians with them.

[16:15] Greetings to Philologus and Julia, to Nereus and his sister, to Olympas and to all of God's people who are with them.

[16:16] Greet one another with the kiss of peace. All the churches of Christ send you their greetings.
