Romans 16: Greetings in the Lord

Paul commends Phoebe, a servant of the assembly at Cenchreae, and asks the believers to receive her in the Lord. He greets many fellow workers, including Prisca and Aquila, who risked their own necks for his life, along with the assembly that meets in their house, and many others by name. He urges them to look out for those who cause divisions contrary to the doctrine they learned and to turn away from them. He wants them wise in that which is good and innocent in that which is evil, and says the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under their feet. Timothy and others send greetings. Tertius, who wrote the letter, greets them in the Lord. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with them.

He greets the assembly that is in their house.

"Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them." Paul says such people do not serve our Lord, and by smooth words they deceive the hearts of the innocent. "For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil." "And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet."
