Romans 16:25-27

Gospel Partnership, Holy Greeting, False-Teacher Warning, and Doxology to the God Who Establishes

Paul moves from commending Phoebe, to greeting many believers and house-church networks, to commanding holy mutual greeting, to warning against divisive deceivers, to promising Satan's crushing by the God of peace, to relaying greetings from his companions, and finally to doxology celebrating God's power to establish believers through the gospel of Jesus Christ now revealed for the obedience of the Gentiles.

27to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
