Romans 16

1 I stand with Phoíbay in commendation to you of her, the sister of ours being a servant* of the called-out people, the called-out people in Kengchreaí,

2 so that you would accept her in the Lord worthily of the holy ones* and stand by her in what practical thing she may need of you, for she also became a person who stands in front for many, even for me myself.

3 Salute Príska* and Akúlas the co-workers with me in Christ Iesoûs,

4 the ones who offered* the neck of theirs for the life of mine; for* whom not only I give thanks, but also all the called-out congregations of the nations*,

5 and the called-out congregation at their home. Salute Epaínetos,the beloved of mine, who is a first fruit* of the Asía to Christ.

6 Salute María, the one who laboured much for you.

7 Salute Andrónikos and Iounía*, the kinsfolk of mine and my fellow captives, the ones who are especially signified* among the apostles*, who came to be in Christ before me.

8 Salute Ampliâtos*, the beloved of mine* in the Lord.
