1 I commend unto you Phebe (our sister) which is a servant (of the church) which is at Cenchrea:
2 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.
3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Iesus:
4 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).
5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus (who is the firstfruits of Achaia) unto Christ.
6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
7 Salute Andronicus and Junia (my kinsmen and my fellow-prisoners) who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8 Greet Amplias (my beloved) in the Lord.
9 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 Narcissus1 (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, Hermas2, Patrobas, Hermes3, and the brethren which are with them.
15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus,4 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 Iesus (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 Iesus) 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 Iesus) 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 Iesus (Christ) according to the revelation (of the mystery)5 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 Iesus (Christ) for ever.
Amen
FOOTNOTE
Note: In Greek mythology, Narcissus (/nɑːrˈsɪsəs/; Ancient Greek: Νάρκισσος, romanized: Nárkissos) is a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia (alternatively Mimas or modern-day Karaburun, Izmir), known for his beauty which was noticed by all. According to the best-known version of the story in Ovid's Metamorphoses, Narcissus rejected the advances of all women and men who approached him, instead falling in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.
Note: Hermes (/ˈhɜːrmiːz/; Ancient Greek: Ἑρμῆς) is an Olympian deity in ancient Greek religion and mythology considered the herald of the gods. He is also widely considered the protector of human heralds, travelers, thieves,[2] merchants, and orators.[3][4] He is able to move quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine aided by his winged sandals. Hermes plays the role of the psychopomp or "soul guide"—a conductor of souls into the afterlife.
