- But I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is minister of the assembly which is in Cenchrea;
- 2

for *she* also has been a helper of many, and of myself.
- 3
- Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus,
- 4

- 5
- and the assembly at their house.
Salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is [the] first-fruits of Asia for Christ.

- But I beseech you, brethren, to consider those who create divisions and occasions of falling, contrary to the doctrine which *ye* have learnt, and turn away from them.
- 18
- For such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
- 19
- For your obedience has reached to all.
I rejoice therefore as it regards you; but I wish you to be wise [as] to that which is good, and simple [as] to evil.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.

- 25
- Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my glad tidings and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to [the] revelation of [the] mystery, as to which silence has been kept in [the] times of the ages,
- 26
- but [which] has now been made manifest, and by prophetic scriptures, according to commandment of the eternal God, made known for obedience of faith to all the nations —
- 27
- [the] only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever.
Amen.
