Final Greetings and Commendations
1I commend unto you Phebe our sister , which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea : 2That 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 . 3Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus : 4Who have for my life laid down their own necks : unto whom not only I give thanks , but also all the churches of the Gentiles . 5Likewise greet the church that is in their house . Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus , who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ . 6Greet Mary , who bestowed much labour on us . 7Salute Andronicus and Junia , my kinsmen , and my fellowprisoners , who are of note among the apostles , who also were in Christ before me . 8Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord . 9Salute Urbane , our helper in Christ , and Stachys my beloved . 10Salute Apelles approved in Christ . Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ household . 11Salute Herodion my kinsman . Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus , which are in the Lord . 12Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa , who labour in the Lord . Salute the beloved Persis , which laboured much in the Lord . 13Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord , and his mother and mine . 14Salute Asyncritus , Phlegon , Hermas , Patrobas , Hermes , and the brethren which are with them . 15Salute Philologus , and Julia , Nereus , and his sister , and Olympas , and all the saints which are with them . 16Salute one another with an holy kiss . The churches of Christ salute you . 17Now I beseech you , brethren , mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned ; and avoid them . 18For 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 . 19For 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 . 20And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly . The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you . Amen . 21Timotheus my workfellow , and Lucius , and Jason , and Sosipater , my kinsmen , salute you . 22I Tertius , who wrote this epistle , salute you in the Lord . 23Gaius mine host , and of the whole church , saluteth you . Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you , and Quartus a brother . 24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all . Amen . 25Now 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 , 26But 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 :
