Personal Greetings
1 I have good things to say about Phoebe, who is a leader in the church at Cenchreae. 2 Welcome her in a way that is proper for someone who has faith in the Lord and is one of God's own people. Help her in any way you can. After all, she has proved to be a respected leader for many others, including me.
3 Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila. They have not only served Christ Jesus together with me, 4 but they have even risked their lives for me. I am grateful for them and so are all the Gentile churches. 5 Greet the church that meets in their home.
Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first person in Asia to have faith in Christ.
6 Greet Mary, who has worked so hard for you.
7 Greet my relatives Andronicus and Junia, who were in jail with me. They are highly respected by the apostles and were followers of Christ before I was.
8 Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend whose faith is in the Lord.
9 Greet Urbanus, who serves Christ along with us.
Greet my dear friend Stachys.
10 Greet Apelles, a faithful servant of Christ.
Greet Aristobulus and his family.
11 Greet Herodion, who is a relative of mine.
Greet Narcissus and the others in his family, who have faith in the Lord.
12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who work hard for the Lord.
Greet my dear friend Persis. She also works hard for the Lord.
13 Greet Rufus, that special servant of the Lord, and greet his mother, who has been like a mother to me.
14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, and Hermas, as well as our friends who are with them.
15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all of God's people who are with them.
16 Be sure to give each other a warm greeting.
All of Christ's churches greet you.
17 My friends, I beg you to watch out for anyone who causes trouble and divides the church by refusing to do what all of you were taught. Stay away from them! 18 They want to serve themselves and not Christ the Lord. Their flattery and fancy talk fool people who don't know any better. 19 I am glad that everyone knows how well you obey the Lord. But still, I want you to understand what is good and not have anything to do with evil. 20 Then God, who gives peace, will soon crush Satan under your feet. I pray that our Lord Jesus will be kind to you.
21 Timothy, who works with me, sends his greetings, and so do my relatives, Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater.
22 I, Tertius, also send my greetings. I am a follower of the Lord, and I wrote this letter.
23-24 Gaius welcomes me and the whole church into his home, and he sends his greetings.
Erastus, the city treasurer, and our dear friend Quartus send their greetings too.
Paul's Closing Prayer
25 Praise God! He can make you strong by means of my good news, which is the message about Jesus Christ. For ages and ages this message was kept secret, 26 but now at last it has been told. The eternal God commanded his prophets to write about the good news, so that all nations would obey and have faith. 27 And now, because of Jesus Christ, we can praise the only wise God forever! Amen.
Personīgie sveicieni
1 Es jums uzticu Foibi, mūsu māsu, kas ir Kenhrejas draudzes kalpotāja, 2 lai jūs viņu uzņemtu Kunga vārdā, kā svētajiem pieklājas, un atbalstītu viņu, ja viņai pie jums būtu kāda vajadzība; viņa ir bijusi labdare daudziem, arī man. 3 Sveiciniet Prisku un Akilu, manus darbabiedrus Kristū Jēzū, 4 kas pakļāva briesmām savu dzīvību, glābdami manējo; viņiem pateicīgs esmu ne tikai es, bet arī visas pagānu draudzes. 5 Sveiciniet arī viņu mājas draudzi, sveiciniet manu mīļo Epainetu, kas ir Kristus ražas pirmais auglis Āzijā. 6 Sveiciniet Mariju, kas daudz pūlējusies mūsu labā. 7 Sveiciniet Andronīku un Jūniju, manus radiniekus un manus cietuma biedrus, kas pazīstami pie apustuļiem un jau pirms manis bija nodevušies Kristum. 8 Sveiciniet Ampliatu, manu mīļoto brāli Kungā, 9 sveiciniet Urbānu, manu darbabiedru Kristū, un manu mīļo brāli Stahiju. 10 Sveiciniet Kristus lietās pārbaudīto Apellu, sveiciniet tos, kas no Aristobūla nama. 11 Sveiciniet manu radinieku Herodionu, sveiciniet brāļus no Narkisa nama, kas pieder Kungam. 12 Sveiciniet Trifainu un Trifosu, kas pūlējušās Kunga darbā, sveiciniet mīļoto Persīdu, kas daudz pūlējusies Kunga darbā. 13 Sveiciniet Rūfu, kas izredzēts Kungā, un viņa māti – kas ir māte arī man. 14 Sveiciniet Asinkritu, Flegontu, Hermeju, Patrobu, Hermu un brāļus, kas atrodas pie viņiem. 15 Sveiciniet Filologu un Jūliju, Nēreju un viņa māsu Olimpu un visus svētos, kas ar viņiem. 16 Sveiciniet viens otru ar svēto skūpstu; jūs sveicina visas Kristus draudzes. 17 Es jūs lūdzu, brāļi, uzmaniet tos, kas rada šķelšanos un piedauzību pret to mācību, ko jūs esat mācījušies, un izvairieties no tādiem. 18 Jo tādi nekalpo mūsu Kungam Jēzum Kristum, bet gan savam vēderam un ar pieglaimīgu runu un skaistiem vārdiem pieviļ vientiesīgo sirdis. 19 Bet jūsu paklausība ir kļuvusi zināma visiem, par jums es priecājos. Es gribu, lai jūs būtu gudri uz labo un bez viltus pret ļauno. 20 Bet miera Dievs itin drīz samīs sātanu zem jūsu kājām. Mūsu Kunga Jēzus žēlastība lai ir ar jums! 21 Jūs sveicina Timotejs, mans darbabiedrs, kā arī Lūkijs, Jāsons, Sosipatrs, mani radinieki. 22 Es, Tercijs, kas pierakstīju šo vēstuli, sveicinu jūs Kungā. 23 Jūs sveicina Gājs, kas uzņēmis pie sevis mani un visu draudzi. Jūs sveicina Erasts, pilsētas pārvaldnieks, un brālis Kvarts.
Doksoloģija
25 Bet tam, kas jūs var stiprināt ar manu evaņģēliju un Jēzus Kristus pasludināšanu pēc tā noslēpuma atklāsmes, par kuru bija klusēts no mūžīgiem laikiem, 26 bet kas tagad ir tapis redzams caur pravietiskiem rakstiem un ar mūžīgā Dieva pavēli darīts zināms, lai ticībai pakļautos visas tautas, – 27 Dievam, kas vienīgais ir gudrs, lai caur Jēzu Kristu ir mūžīgs gods! Āmen!
