I
commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant
of the church which is at Cenchrea:
2 That ye
receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that
ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself
also.
3 Greet
Priscilla and Aquila my helpers
in Christ Jesus:
4 Who
have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks,
but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5 Likewise
greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved
Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits
of Achaia unto Christ.
6 Greet
Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
7 Salute
Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who
also were in Christ before me.
8
Greet Amplias my beloved in the
Lord.
9 Salute
Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
10 Salute
Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus? household.
11 Salute
Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the
Lord.
12 Salute
Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the
beloved Persis, which laboured
much in the Lord.
13
Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14 Salute
Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the
brethren which are with them.
15 Salute
Philologus, and Julia, Nereus,
and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which
are with them.
16 Salute
one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ
salute you.
17 Now I
beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to
the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For
they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by
good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19 For
your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your
behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple
concerning evil.
20 And
the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius,
and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the
Lord.
23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the
chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
24 The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
25 Now
to him that is of power to stablish you according to
my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of
the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But
now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the
commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience
of faith:
27 To
God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ
for ever. Amen.
