         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

(Paul continues signing off with greetings.) 13 - Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord! Also his mother, who has been a mother to me as well. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them. 15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the believers who are with them. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send to you their greetings.

     17 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions, and create obstacles that are contrary to the teaching that you were taught, avoid them. 18 For such persons don’t serve our Lord, but their own selves, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. 19 For your obedience {to “the way”} is known to all, so I rejoice over you! But I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush the adversary [satan, satanas - adversary, accuser] under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you! 21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

22 I Tertius, who wrote this letter for Paul, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.

     25 Now to he who is able to strengthen you according to the gospel I proclaim, of the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages 26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

     {Farewell dear Romans! Hopefully I will see you soon! …In the Acts weekly study, Paul is about to “appeal to Caesar” against his Jerusalem accusers, his adversaries, so adept at division, accusation ..hate speech?}
