¹I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,

KJV^G1161 I commend^G4921^(G5719) unto you^G5213 Phebe^G5402 our^G2257 sister^G79, which is^G5607^(G5752) a servant^G1249 of the church^G1577 which^G3588 is at^G1722 Cenchrea^G2747:

² that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.

KJVThat^G2443 ye receive^G4327^(G5667) her^G846 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, as becometh^G516 saints^G40, and^G2532 that ye assist^G3936^(G5632) her^G846 in^G1722 whatsoever^G3739^G302 business^G4229 she hath need^G5535^(G5725) of you^G5216: for^G1063 she^G3778^(G5625)^G846 hath been^G1096^(G5675) a succourer^G4368 of many^G4183, and^G2532 of myself^G846^G1700 also^G2532.

³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

KJVGreet^G782^(G5663) Priscilla^G4252 and^G2532 Aquila^G207 my^G3450 helpers^G4904 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424:

⁴ who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles.

KJVWho^G3748 have^G5294 for^G5228 my^G3450 life^G5590 laid down^G5294^(G5656) their own^G1438 necks^G5137: unto whom^G3739 not^G3756 only^G3441 I^G1473 give thanks^G2168^(G5719), but^G235 also^G2532 all^G3956 the churches^G1577 of the Gentiles^G1484.

¹⁷ 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.

KJVNow^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, mark^G4648^(G5721) them which cause^G4160^(G5723) divisions^G1370 and^G2532 offences^G4625 contrary^G3844 to the doctrine^G1322 which^G3739 ye^G5210 have learned^G3129^(G5627); and^G2532 avoid^G1578^(G5657) them^G575^G846.

¹⁸ For those who are such don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

KJVFor^G1063 they that are such^G5108 serve^G1398^(G5719) not^G3756 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, but^G235 their own^G1438 belly^G2836; and^G2532 by^G1223 good words^G5542 and^G2532 fair speeches^G2129 deceive^G1818^(G5719) the hearts^G2588 of the simple^G172.

¹⁹ 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.

KJVFor^G1063 your^G5216 obedience^G5218 is come abroad^G864^(G5633) unto^G1519 all^G3956 men. I am glad^G5463^(G5719) therefore^G3767 on^G1909 your^G5213 behalf^G1909: but yet^G1161 I would have^G2309^(G5719) you^G5209 wise^G4680 unto^G1519 that which is^G1511^(G5750) good^G3303^G18, and^G1161 simple^G185 concerning^G1519 evil^G2556.

²⁰ And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

KJVAnd^G1161 the God^G2316 of peace^G1515 shall bruise^G4937^(G5692) Satan^G4567 under^G5259 your^G5216 feet^G4228 shortly^G1722^G5034. The grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 you^G5216. Amen^G281.

²¹ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

KJVTimotheus^G5095 my^G3450 workfellow^G4904, and^G2532 Lucius^G3066, and^G2532 Jason^G2394, and^G2532 Sosipater^G4989, my^G3450 kinsmen^G4773, salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209.

²² I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.

KJVI^G1473 Tertius^G5060, who wrote^G1125^(G5660) this epistle^G1992, salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962.

²³ Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.

KJVGaius^G1050 mine^G3450 host^G3581, and^G2532 of the whole^G3650 church^G1577, saluteth^G782^(G5736) you^G5209. Erastus^G2037 the chamberlain^G3623 of the city^G4172 saluteth^G782^(G5736) you^G5209, and^G2532 Quartus^G2890 a brother^G80.

²⁴ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.

KJVThe grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 you^G5216 all^G3956. Amen^G281.

²⁵

KJVNow^G1161 to him that is of power^G1410^(G5740) to stablish^G4741^(G5658) you^G5209 according^G2596 to my^G3450 gospel^G2098, and^G2532 the preaching^G2782 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, according^G2596 to the revelation^G602 of the mystery^G3466, which was kept secret^G4601^(G5772) since the world began^G5550^G166,

WEB·Romans 15

¹Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

KJVWe^G2249 then^G1161 that are strong^G1415 ought^G3784^(G5719) to bear^G941^(G5721) the infirmities^G771 of the weak^G102, and^G2532 not^G3361 to please^G700^(G5721) ourselves^G1438.

² Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

KJV^G1063 Let^G700 every one^G1538 of us^G2257 please^G700^(G5720) his neighbour^G4139 for^G1519 his good^G18 to^G4314 edification^G3619.

³ For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

KJVFor^G1063 even^G2532 Christ^G5547 pleased^G700^(G5656) not^G3756 himself^G1438; but^G235, as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769), The reproaches^G3680 of them that reproached^G3679^(G5723) thee^G4571 fell^G1968^(G5627) on^G1909 me^G1691.

⁴ For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

KJVFor^G1063 whatsoever things^G3745 were written aforetime^G4270^(G5648) were written^G4270^(G5648) for^G1519 our^G2251 learning^G1319, that^G2443 we^G2192 through^G1223 patience^G5281 and^G2532 comfort^G3874 of the scriptures^G1124 might have^G2192^(G5725) hope^G1680.

⁵ Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

KJVNow^G1161 the God^G2316 of patience^G5281 and^G2532 consolation^G3874 grant^G1325^(G5630) you^G5213 to be^G846 likeminded^G5426^(G5721) one^G240 toward another^G1722^G240 according^G2596 to Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424:

⁶ that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVThat^G2443 ye may^G1392 with one mind^G3661 and^G1722 one^G1520 mouth^G4750 glorify^G1392^(G5725) God^G2316, even^G2532 the Father^G3962 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁷ Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.

KJVWherefore^G1352 receive ye^G4355^(G5732) one another^G240, as^G2531^G2532 Christ^G5547 also^G2531 received^G4355^(G5639) us^G2248 to^G1519 the glory^G1391 of God^G2316.

⁸ Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

KJVNow^G1161 I say^G3004^(G5719) that Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 was^G1096^(G5771) a minister^G1249 of the circumcision^G4061 for^G5228 the truth^G225 of God^G2316, to^G1519 confirm^G950^(G5658) the promises^G1860 made unto the fathers^G3962:

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”

KJVAnd^G1161 that the Gentiles^G1484 might glorify^G1392^(G5658) God^G2316 for^G5228 his mercy^G1656; as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769), For^G1223 this^G5124 cause^G1223 I will confess^G1843^(G5698) to thee^G4671 among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 sing^G5567^(G5692) unto thy^G4675 name^G3686.

¹⁰ Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G3825 he saith^G3004^(G5719), Rejoice, ye^G2165^(G5682) Gentiles^G1484, with^G3326 his^G846 people^G2992.

¹¹ Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G3825, Praise^G134 the Lord^G2962, all^G3956 ye^G134^(G5720) Gentiles^G1484; and^G2532 laud^G1867^(G5657) him^G846, all ye^G3956 people^G2992.

¹² Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G3825, Esaias^G2268 saith^G3004^(G5719), There shall be^G2071^(G5704) a root^G4491 of Jesse^G2421, and^G2532 he that shall rise^G450^(G5734) to reign over^G757^(G5721) the Gentiles^G1484; in^G1909 him^G846 shall^G1679 the Gentiles^G1484 trust^G1679^(G5692).

¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.

KJVNow^G1161 the God^G2316 of hope^G1680 fill^G4137^(G5659) you^G5209 with all^G3956 joy^G5479 and^G2532 peace^G1515 in^G1722 believing^G4100^(G5721), that^G1519 ye^G5209 may abound^G4052^(G5721) in^G1722 hope^G1680, through^G1722 the power^G1411 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

¹⁴ I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

KJVAnd^G1161 I^G1473 myself^G846 also^G2532 am persuaded^G3982^(G5769) of^G4012 you^G5216, my^G3450 brethren^G80, that^G3754 ye^G846 also^G2532 are^G2075^(G5748) full^G3324 of goodness^G19, filled^G4137^(G5772) with all^G3956 knowledge^G1108, able^G1410^(G5740) also^G2532 to admonish^G3560^(G5721) one another^G240.

¹⁵ But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

KJVNevertheless^G1161, brethren^G80, I have written^G1125^(G5656) the more boldly^G5112 unto you^G5213 in^G575 some sort^G3313, as^G5613 putting^G1878 you^G5209 in mind^G1878^(G5723), because^G1223 of the grace^G5485 that is given^G1325^(G5685) to me^G3427 of^G5259 God^G2316,

¹⁶ that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

KJVThat I^G3165 should be^G1519^G1511^(G5750) the minister^G3011 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 to^G1519 the Gentiles^G1484, ministering^G2418^(G5723) the gospel^G2098 of God^G2316, that^G2443 the offering up^G4376 of the Gentiles^G1484 might be^G1096^(G5638) acceptable^G2144, being sanctified^G37^(G5772) by^G1722 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

¹⁷ I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

KJVI have^G2192^(G5719) therefore whereof^G3767 I may glory^G2746 through^G1722 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 in those things which pertain to^G4314 God^G2316.

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

KJVFor^G1063 I will^G5111 not^G3756 dare^G5111^(G5692) to speak^G2980^(G5721) of any^G5100 of those things which^G3739 Christ^G5547 hath^G2716 not^G3756 wrought^G2716^(G5662) by^G1223 me^G1700, to make^G1519 the Gentiles^G1484 obedient^G5218, by word^G3056 and^G2532 deed^G2041,

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

KJVThrough^G1722 mighty^G1411 signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059, by^G1722 the power^G1411 of the Spirit^G4151 of God^G2316; so^G5620 that from^G575 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 round about^G2945 unto^G3360 Illyricum^G2437, I^G3165 have fully preached^G4137^(G5760) the gospel^G2098 of Christ^G5547.

²⁰ yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

KJVYea^G1161, so^G3779 have I strived^G5389^(G5740) to preach the gospel^G2097^(G5733), not^G3756 where^G3699 Christ^G5547 was named^G3687^(G5681), lest^G3363 I should build^G3618^(G5725) upon^G1909 another man's^G245 foundation^G2310:

²¹ But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”

KJVBut^G235 as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769), To whom^G3739 he^G846 was^G312 not^G3756 spoken^G312^(G5648) of^G4012, they shall see^G3700^(G5695): and^G2532 they^G3739 that have^G191 not^G3756 heard^G191^(G5754) shall understand^G4920^(G5704).

²² Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,

KJVFor which cause^G1352 also^G2532 I have been^G1465 much^G4183 hindered^G1465^(G5712) from coming^G2064^(G5629) to^G4314 you^G5209.

²³ but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 having^G2192^(G5723) no more^G3371 place^G5117 in^G1722 these^G575^G5125 parts^G2824, and^G1161 having^G2192^(G5723) a great desire^G1974 these many^G4183 years^G2094 to come^G2064^(G5629) unto^G4314 you^G5209;

²⁴ whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

KJVWhensoever^G5613^G1437 I take my journey^G4198^(G5741) into^G1519 Spain^G4681, I will come^G2064^(G5695) to^G4314 you^G5209: for^G1063 I trust^G1679^(G5719) to see^G2300^(G5664) you^G5209 in my journey^G1279^(G5740), and^G2532 to be brought on my way^G4311^(G5683) thitherward^G1563 by^G5259 you^G5216, if^G1437 first^G4412 I be^G1705 somewhat^G3313 filled^G1705^(G5686) with^G575 your^G5216 company.

²⁵ But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 I go^G4198^(G5736) unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419 to minister^G1247^(G5723) unto the saints^G40.

²⁶ For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
