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.
1 Jūsu gādībai ieteicu Foibu, mūsu māsu, kas kalpo Kenhrejas draudzē. 2 Uzņemiet viņu iekš Tā Kunga, kā svētajiem klājas, un palīdziet viņai, ja viņai kādā lietā vajadzīgs jūsu atbalsts: arī viņa daudziem bijusi par aizstāvi, arī man pašam. 3 Sveicinait Prisku un Akvilu, mana darba biedrus Kristū Jēzū; 4 viņi savu galvu likuši ķīlā par manu dzīvību, tā ka viņiem ne vien es esmu pateicīgs, bet visas pagānu draudzes; 5 arī draudzi viņu namā sveicinait. Sveicinait manu mīļoto Epainetu, kas ir pirmais Kristus guvums Āzijā. 6 Sveicinait Mariju, kas daudz pūlējusies jūsu labā. 7 Sveicinait Androniku un Jūniju, manus ciltsbrāļus un cietuma biedrus, kas ieņem cienīgu vietu starp apustuļiem un jau pirms manis bijuši Kristū. 8 Sveicinait Ampliatu, kas man ir mīļš Kristū. 9 Sveicinait manu darbabiedru Kristū - Urbānu un manu mīļo Stahiju. 10 Sveicinait pārbaudīto Kristus mācekli Apellu. Sveicinait tos, kas pieder pie Aristobula saimes ļaudīm. 11 Sveicinait manu ciltsbrāli Herodionu. Sveicinait Narkisa saimes ļaudis, kas ir mūsu Kungā. 12 Sveicinait Trifainu un Trifozu, kas strādā Tā Kunga darbu. Sveicinait mīļoto Persidu, kas daudz pūlējusies Tā Kunga darbā. 13 Sveicinait Kungā izredzēto Rūfu un viņa māti, kas ir arī manējā. 14 Sveicinait Asinkritu, Flegontu, Hermeju, Patrobu, Hermu un brāļus, kas atrodas pie viņiem. 15 Sveicinait Filologu, Jūliju, Nereju un viņa māsu, Olimpu un visus svētos, kas pie viņiem. 16 Sveicinait cits citu ar svēto skūpstu. Jūs sveicina visas Kristus draudzes. 17 Es lieku jums pie sirds, brāļi, ņemiet vērā tos, kas rada šķelšanos un pretestību tai mācībai, ko esat mācījušies: vairieties no viņiem! 18 Tādi cilvēki nekalpo mūsu Kungam Kristum, bet savam vēderam un ar saviem saldajiem vārdiem un skaistajām runām pieviļ vientiesīgo sirdis. 19 Bet jūsu paklausība visiem kļuvusi zināma, tāpēc man par jums ir prieks; bet tikai vēlos, lai jūs būtu gudri uz labu, bet vientiesīgi uz ļaunu. 20 Bet miera Dievs drīzumā samīs sātanu apakš jūsu kājām! Mūsu Kunga Jēzus žēlastība lai ir ar jums! 21 Jūs sveicina Timotejs, mans darba biedrs, kā arī Lukijs, Jazons un Sozipatrs, mani ciltsbrāļi. 22 Es, Tercijs, šīs vēstules rakstītājs, sveicinu jūs Kungā. 23 Jūs sveicina Gajs, mans un visas draudzes nama tēvs. Jūs sveicina Erasts, pilsētas saimniecības vadītājs, un brālis Kvarts. 24 Mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus žēlastība lai ir ar jums visiem! 25 Bet Tam, kas jūs var stiprināt, kā to rāda mans evaņģēlijs un vēstījums par Jēzu Kristu, kurā atklājas noslēpums, kas mūžiem bijis neizpausts, 26 bet tagad darīts zināms un ar pravieša rakstiem uz Dieva pavēli sludināts visām tautām, lai tās pakļautu ticībai, - 27 vienīgajam visugudrajam Dievam, lai caur Jēzu Kristu ir gods mūžu mūžos. Āmen.
