问安

¹我对你们推荐我们的姊妹非比，她是坚革哩教会中的执事。 ²请你们在主里用合乎圣徒的方式来接待她。她在任何事上需要你们帮助，你们就帮助她；因她素来帮助许多人，也帮助了我。
³请向百基拉和亚居拉问安。他们在基督耶稣里作我的同工， ⁴也为我的性命把自己的生死置之度外；不但我感谢他们，就是外邦的众教会也感谢他们。 ⁵又向在他们家中的教会问安。向我所亲爱的以拜尼土问安，他是亚细亚归于基督的初结果子。 ⁶又向马利亚问安，她为你们非常辛劳。 ⁷又向与我一同坐监的亲戚安多尼古和犹尼亚问安，他们在使徒中是有名望的，也是比我先在基督里的。 ⁸又向我在主里面所亲爱的暗伯利问安。 ⁹又向我们在基督里的同工耳巴奴和我所亲爱的士大古问安。 ¹⁰又向在基督里经过考验的亚比利问安。向亚利多布家里的人问安。 ¹¹又向我亲戚希罗天问安。向拿其数家在主里的人问安。 ¹²又向为主辛劳的土非拿和土富撒问安。向所亲爱、为主非常辛劳的彼息问安。 ¹³又向在主里蒙拣选的鲁孚和他母亲问安，他的母亲就是我的母亲。 ¹⁴又向亚逊其土、弗勒干、黑米、八罗巴、黑马，和跟他们在一起的弟兄们问安。 ¹⁵又向非罗罗古和犹利亚，尼利亚和他姊妹，阿林巴和跟他们在一起的众圣徒问安。 ¹⁶你们要以圣洁的吻彼此问安。基督的众教会都向你们问安！
¹⁷弟兄们，那些离间你们、使你们跌倒、违背所学之道的人，我劝你们要留意躲避他们。 ¹⁸因为这样的人不服侍我们的主基督，只服侍自己的肚腹，用花言巧语诱惑老实人的心。 ¹⁹你们的顺服已经传于众人，所以我为你们欢喜；但我愿你们在善上聪明，在恶上愚拙。 ²⁰那赐平安⚓的上帝快要把撒但践踏在你们脚下。愿我们主耶稣基督的恩与你们同在！
²¹我的同工提摩太，和我的亲戚路求、耶孙、所西巴德，向你们问安。 ²²我这代笔写信的德提，在主里向你们问安。 ²³那接待我，也接待全教会的该犹，向你们问安。城里的财务官以拉都和弟兄括土向你们问安。⚓

颂赞

²⁵惟有上帝能照我所传的福音和所讲的耶稣基督，并照历代以来隐藏的奥秘的启示，坚固你们。 ²⁶这奥秘如今显示出来，而且按着永生上帝的命令，藉众先知的书指示万民，使他们因信而顺服。 ²⁷愿荣耀，藉着耶稣基督，归给独一全智的上帝，直到永远。阿们！

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.
