[1] I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly
that is at Cenchreae, [2] that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy
of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from
you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
[3] Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, [4] who for
my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but
also all the assemblies of the Gentiles. [5] Greet the assembly that is in
their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first-fruits of Achaia
to Christ. [6] Greet Mary, who labored much for us. [7] Greet Andronicus
and Junias, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the
apostles, who also have been in Christ before me. [8] Greet Amplias, my
beloved in the Lord. [9] Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and
Stachys, my beloved. [10] Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet
those who are of the household of Aristobulus. [11] Greet Herodion, my
kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
[12] Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis, the
beloved, who labored much in the Lord. [13] Greet Rufus, the chosen in the
Lord, and his mother and mine. [14] Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes,
Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them. [15] Greet Philologus
and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are
with them. [16] Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of
Christ greet you. [17] Now I beg you, brothers, mark those who are causing
the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which
you learned, and turn away from them. [18] For those who are such don`t
serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and
flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent. [19] For your
obedience has reached all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to
have you wise to that which is good, but innocent to that which is evil.
[20] Now the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet swiftly. The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. [21] Timothy, my fellow worker,
greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives. [22] I,
Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord. [23] Gaius, my host
and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the
city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother. [24] The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.
