Romans 16:9-19 Good News Bible (GNB)

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

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

11. Greetings to Herodion, a fellow-Jew, and to the Christians in the family of Narcissus.

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.

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.

14. My greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the other Christian brothers and sisters with them.

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. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send you their greetings.

17. I urge you, my brothers and sisters: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them!

18. For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people.

19. Everyone has heard of your loyalty to the gospel, and for this reason I am happy about you. I want you to be wise about what is good, but innocent in what is evil.
