1 | But I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is minister of the assembly which is in Cenchrea; |
2 | that ye may receive her in [the] Lord worthily of saints, and that ye may assist her in whatever matter she has need of you; for *she* also has been a helper of many, and of myself. |
3 | Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus, |
4 | (who for my life staked their own neck; to whom not *I* only am thankful, but also all the assemblies of the nations,) |
5 | and the assembly at their house. Salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is [the] first-fruits of Asia for Christ. |
6 | Salute Maria, who laboured much for you. |
7 | Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles; who were also in Christ before me. |
8 | Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. |
9 | Salute Urbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. |
10 | Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. Salute those who belong to Aristobulus. |
11 | Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those who belong to Narcissus, who are in [the] Lord. |
12 | Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in [the] Lord. Salute Persis, the beloved, who has laboured much in [the] Lord. |
13 | Salute Rufus, chosen in [the] Lord; and his mother and mine. |
14 | Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them. |
15 | Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them. |
16 | Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the assemblies of Christ salute you. |
17 | But I beseech you, brethren, to consider those who create divisions and occasions of falling, contrary to the doctrine which *ye* have learnt, and turn away from them. |
18 | For such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. |
19 | For your obedience has reached to all. I rejoice therefore as it regards you; but I wish you to be wise [as] to that which is good, and simple [as] to evil. |
20 | But the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. |
21 | Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. |
22 | I Tertius, who have written this epistle, salute you in [the] Lord. |
23 | Gaius, my host and of the whole assembly, salutes you. Erastus, the steward of the city, salutes you, and the brother Quartus. |
24 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. |
25 | Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my glad tidings and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to [the] revelation of [the] mystery, as to which silence has been kept in [the] times of the ages, |
26 | but [which] has now been made manifest, and by prophetic scriptures, according to commandment of the eternal God, made known for obedience of faith to all the nations -- |
27 | [the] only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever. Amen. |
