Personal Greetings and Love 1I NOW commend unto you Ph?be our sister, who is a deaconess of the church which is at Cenchrea:
2that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that you assist her in every matter wherein she may have need of you: for she hath also been a succourer of many, and of me myself.
3Salute Priscilla and Aquila my fellow-labourers in Christ Jesus:
4(who for my life have laid down their own neck: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:)
5and the church which is in their house. Avoid Divisions 17Now I beseech you, brethren, keep a sharp eye over those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine ye have learned, and turn away from them.
18For such are not servants to our Lord Jesus Christ, but to their own belly; and by smooth speeches and flattering commendations deceive the hearts of the guileless.
19For your obedience is gone forth in report to all men. I rejoice therefore on your account: but I wish you to be wise indeed unto good, but harmless respecting evil.
20Now the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Greetings from Paul’s Fellow Workers 21There salute you Timothy, my fellow-labourer, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22I Tertius, who have written 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. Doxology 25Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, agreeable to the revelation of the mystery; which was concealed from all former ages,
26but is now made manifest, and by the prophetical scriptures, according to the commandment of the eternal God, notified to all the Gentiles to bring them to the obedience of faith:
27to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory for ever and ever. Amen. A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek Thomas Haweis 1795 Digital Text Courtesy TheWord.net Bible Software. Section Headings Courtesy Berean Bible. |
