16 Minä suljen teidän suosioonne sisaremme Foiben, joka on Kenkrean seurakunnan palvelija,

että otatte hänet vastaan Herrassa, niinkuin pyhien sopii, ja autatte häntä kaikessa, missä hän teitä tarvitsee; sillä hän on ollut monelle avuksi ja myöskin minulle.

Tervehdys Priskalle ja Akylaalle, työkumppaneilleni Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa,

jotka minun henkeni puolesta ovat panneet oman kaulansa alttiiksi ja joita en ainoastaan minä kiitä, vaan myös kaikki pakanain seurakunnat,

ja seurakunnalle, joka kokoontuu heidän kodissansa. Tervehdys Epainetukselle, rakkaalleni, joka on Aasian ensi hedelmä Kristukselle.

Tervehdys Marialle, joka on nähnyt paljon vaivaa teidän tähtenne.

Tervehdys Andronikukselle ja Juniaalle, heimolaisilleni ja vankeustovereilleni, joilla on suuri arvo apostolien joukossa ja jotka jo ennen minua ovat olleet Kristuksessa.

Tervehdys Ampliatukselle, rakkaalleni Herrassa.

Tervehdys Urbanukselle, meidän työtoverillemme Kristuksessa, ja Stakykselle, rakkaalleni.

10 Tervehdys Apelleelle, koetuksenkestäneelle Kristuksessa. Tervehdys Aristobuluksen perhekuntalaisille.

11 Tervehdys Herodionille, heimolaiselleni. Tervehdys Narkissuksen perhekuntalaisille, jotka ovat Herrassa.

12 Tervehdys Tryfainalle ja Tryfosalle, jotka ovat nähneet vaivaa Herrassa. Tervehdys Persikselle, rakkaalle sisarelle, joka on nähnyt paljon vaivaa Herrassa.

13 Tervehdys Rufukselle, valitulle Herrassa, ja hänen äidilleen, joka on kuin äiti minullekin.

14 Tervehdys Asynkritukselle, Flegonille, Hermeelle, Patrobaalle, Hermaalle ja veljille, jotka ovat heidän kanssansa.

15 Tervehdys Filologukselle ja Julialle, Nereukselle ja hänen sisarelleen ja Olympaalle ja kaikille pyhille, jotka ovat heidän kanssansa.

16 Tervehtikää toisianne pyhällä suunannolla. Kaikki Kristuksen seurakunnat tervehtivät teitä.

17 Mutta minä kehoitan teitä, veljet, pitämään silmällä niitä, jotka saavat aikaan erimielisyyttä ja pahennusta vastoin sitä oppia, jonka te olette saaneet; vetäytykää pois heistä.

18 Sillä sellaiset eivät palvele meidän Herraamme Kristusta, vaan omaa vatsaansa, ja he pettävät suloisilla sanoilla ja kauniilla puheilla vilpittömien sydämet.

19 Onhan teidän kuuliaisuutenne tullut kaikkien tietoon; sentähden minä iloitsen teistä, mutta minä tahtoisin teidän olevan viisaita hyvään, mutta taitamattomia pahaan.

20 Ja rauhan Jumala on pian musertava saatanan teidän jalkojenne alle. Herramme Jeesuksen armo olkoon teidän kanssanne.

21 Teitä tervehtivät Timoteus, minun työtoverini, ja heimolaiseni Lukius, Jaason ja Soosipater.

22 Minä Tertius, joka olen kirjoittanut tämän kirjeen, sanon teille tervehdyksen Herrassa.

23 Gaius, minun ja koko seurakunnan majanantaja, tervehtii teitä. Erastus, kaupungin rahainhoitaja, ja veli Kvartus tervehtivät teitä.

24 Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen armo olkoon teidän kanssanne. Amen.

25 Mutta hänen, joka voi teitä vahvistaa minun evankeliumini ja Jeesuksen Kristuksen saarnan mukaan, sen ilmoitetun salaisuuden mukaan, joka kautta ikuisten aikojen on ollut ilmoittamatta,

26 mutta joka nyt on julkisaatettu ja profeetallisten kirjoitusten kautta iankaikkisen Jumalan käskystä tiettäväksi tehty kaikille kansoille uskon kuuliaisuuden aikaansaamiseksi,

27 Jumalan, ainoan viisaan, olkoon kunnia Jeesuksen Kristuksen kautta, aina ja iankaikkisesti. Amen.

Personal Greetings

Greet Priscilla[c] and Aquila,(E) my co-workers(F) in Christ Jesus.(G) They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house.(H)

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(X) Keep away from them.(Y) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(Z) but their own appetites.(AA) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(AB) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(AC) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(AD)

20 The God of peace(AE) will soon crush(AF) Satan(AG) under your feet.

Amen.(AT)

16 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

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.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

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.

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

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.

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.

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.
