Chapter 16
|
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 well-beloved 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 fellow-prisoners,
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. |
