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 Jesus: 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 wellbeloved 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 fellowprisoners, 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 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.

1 Ek beveel by julle aan ons suster F,b,, wat 'n dienares is van die gemeente in Kenchr,ë,

2 dat julle haar ontvang in die Here, soos dit die heiliges betaam, en haar bystaan in elke saak waarin sy julle nodig mag hê. Want sy was vir baie 'n beskermster en ook vir my.

3 Groet Prisc¡lla en Aquila, my medewerkers in Christus Jesus,

4 wat vir my hulle lewe gewaag het; nie ek alleen dank hulle nie, maar ook al die gemeentes van die heidene.

5 Groet ook die gemeente by hulle aan huis. Groet Ep,netus, my geliefde, wat die eersteling van Ach je is vir Christus.

6 Groet Maria wat baie vir ons gearbei het.

7 Groet Andron¡cus en Junias, my stamgenote en my medegevangenes, wat in aansien is onder die apostels en reeds voor my in Christus gewees het.

8 Groet Amplias, my geliefde in die Here.

9 Groet Urb nus, ons medewerker in Christus, en St chis, my geliefde.

10 Groet Ap,lles, die beproefde in Christus. Groet hulle wat van die huis van Aristobulus is.

11 Groet Herodion, my stamgenoot. Groet hulle wat van die huis van Narc¡ssus is, die wat in die Here is.

12 Groet Trif,na en Trifosa, vroue wat in die Here arbei. Groet P,rsis, die geliefde vrou, wat baie in die Here gearbei het.

13 Groet Rufus, die uitverkorene in die Here, en sy moeder en myne.

14 Groet As¡nkritus, Flegon, Hermas, P trobas, Hermes en die broeders wat saam met hulle is.

15 Groet Filologus en Julia, N,reus en sy suster en Ol¡mpas en al die heiliges wat saam met hulle is.

16 Groet mekaar met 'n heilige kus. Die gemeentes van Christus groet julle.

17 En ek vermaan julle, broeders, hou hulle in die oog wat tweedrag en aanstoot veroorsaak teen die leer wat julle geleer het, en vermy hulle.

18 Want sulke mense dien nie onse Here Jesus nie, maar hulle eie buik; en hulle verlei deur hul vriendelike en mooi woorde die harte van die eenvoudiges.

19 Want julle gehoorsaamheid het algemeen bekend geword. Daarom verbly ek my oor julle, en ek wens dat julle wys mag wees teenoor wat goed is, maar onskuldig teenoor wat sleg is.

20 En die God van vrede sal die Satan spoedig onder julle voete verbrysel. Die genade van onse Here Jesus Christus sy met julle! Amen.

21 Timothes, my medewerker, groet julle, en Lucius en Jason en Sos¡pater, my stamgenote.

22 Ek, T,rtius, wat die brief geskryf het, groet julle in die Here.

23 Gajus, my gasheer en ook van die hele gemeente, groet julle. Er stus, die penningmeester van die stad, en die broeder Quartus groet julle.

24 Die genade van die Here Jesus Christus sy met julle almal! Amen.

25 Aan Hom dan wat magtig is om julle te versterk volgens my evangelie en die prediking van Jesus Christus, ooreenkomstig die openbaring van die verborgenheid wat eeue lank verswyg is,

26 maar nou geopenbaar is en deur die profetiese Skrifte bekend gemaak is onder al die heidene, volgens die bevel van die ewige God, tot gehoorsaamheid van die geloof

27 aan die alleenwyse God, aan Hom die heerlikheid deur Jesus Christus tot in ewigheid! Amen.
