1   I commend unto you Phebe ^note our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, 2   That ye may receive her in the Lord, ^note as becometh saints, and assist her in whatsoever business she needeth you: for she hath been an helper of many, and of myself also. 3   Salute Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow-labourers in Christ Jesus: 4   Who for my life, ^note have laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone owe my thanks, but likewise all the churches of the Gentiles. 5   Salute17Q0318 also the church that is in their house. ^note Salute my well-beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Asia

unto Christ. 6   Salute Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. Salute Andronicus and Junias, 7   my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are in repute among the apostles, ^note who also were in Christ before me. 8    9   Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. Salute Urbanus, our fellow-labourer ^note in Christ, and my beloved Stachys. 10   Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. 11   Salute those of the family of Aristobulus. ^note Salute my kinsman Herodion. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. 12   Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, ^note who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, who hath laboured much in the Lord. 13   Salute Rufus, ^note chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14   Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon,17Q0319 ^note Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren who are with them. 15   Salute Philologus and Julias, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints ^note that are with them. 16   Salute one another with an holy kiss. ^note The churches of Christ salute you.

17   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions ^note and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid

them. 18   For such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words ^note and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple. 19   For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore on your behalf; but I would have you ^note wise with regard to that which is good, and simple with regard to that which is evil. 20   And the God ^note of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

21   Timothy my fellow-labourer, ^note and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater my kinsmen salute you. 22   I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you ^note in the Lord. 23   Caius, ^note my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus17Q0320 the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother. 24   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Now to him who is able ^note to stablish you, 25   according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, (according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, 26   But now made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment ^note of the eternal God, 27   made known to all nations for the obedience of faith) To the only wise God, ^note to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen!
