Romans 16

Paul commends Phoebe to the church and greets many believers by name, including Priscilla and Aquila who risked their own necks for his life. He warns them to mark those who cause divisions contrary to the doctrine they have learned and closes with a doxology to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ.
