Sister Phoebe Commended

¹I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in ⚓Cenchrea, ²⚓that you may receive her in the Lord ⚓in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

Greeting Roman Saints

³Greet ⚓Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, ⁴who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. ⁵Likewise greet⚓the church that is in their house.
Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is ⚓the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ. ⁶Greet Mary, who labored much for us. ⁷Greet Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the ⚓apostles, who also ⚓were in Christ before me.
⁸Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. ⁹Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. ¹⁰Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus. ¹¹Greet Herodion, my countryman. Greet those who are of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
¹²Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord. ¹³Greet Rufus, ⚓chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. ¹⁴Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them. ¹⁵Greet 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 churches of Christ greet you.

Avoid Divisive Persons

¹⁷Now I urge you, brethren, note those ⚓who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and ⚓avoid them. ¹⁸For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but ⚓their own belly, and ⚓by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. ¹⁹For ⚓your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be ⚓wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. ²⁰And ⚓the God of peace ⚓will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
⚓The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Greetings from Paul’s Friends

²¹⚓Timothy, my fellow worker, and ⚓Lucius, ⚓Jason, and ⚓Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.
²²I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.
²³⚓Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. ⚓Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. ²⁴⚓The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Benediction

²⁵Now ⚓to Him who is able to establish you ⚓according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ⚓according to the revelation of the mystery ⚓kept secret since the world began ²⁶but ⚓now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for ⚓obedience to the faith— ²⁷to ⚓God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
