This final section includes elements often found at the end of New Testament letters:

a discussion of travel plans (15:14–29),
requests for prayer (15:30–33),
references to ministry partners (16:1–2, 21–23),
greetings (16:3–16), and
a short hymn of praise (16:25–27).

Only the warning about false teachers is a non-standard feature in this conclusion (16:17–19).

Theme notes and profiles

Romans 1:13
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
1 Thessalonians 2:17–18
Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
