I commend
unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of
the church which is at Cenchrea:
02 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.
03 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in
Christ Jesus:
04 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.
05 Likewise greet the church that is in their
house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is
the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
06 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
07 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and
my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the
apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
08 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
09 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.
