Personal Greetings
1 I recommend to you our sister Phoebe, who serves the church at Cenchreae. 2 Receive her in the Lord's name, as God's people should, and give her any help she may need from you; for she herself has been a good friend to many people and also to me.
3 I send greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in the service of Christ Jesus; 4 they risked their lives for me. I am grateful to them—not only I, but all the Gentile churches as well. 5 Greetings also to the church that meets in their house.
Greetings to my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first in the province of Asia to believe in Christ. 6 Greetings to Mary, who has worked so hard for you. 7 Greetings also to Andronicus and Junia, fellow Jews who were in prison with me; they are well known among the apostles, and they became Christians before I did.
8 My greetings to Ampliatus, my dear friend in the fellowship of the Lord. 9 Greetings also to Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ's service, and to Stachys, my dear friend. 10 Greetings to Apelles, whose loyalty to Christ has been proved. Greetings to those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. 11 Greetings to Herodion, a fellow Jew, and to the Christians in the family of Narcissus.
12 My greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who work in the Lord's service, and to my dear friend Persis, who has done so much work for the Lord. 13 I send greetings to Rufus, that outstanding worker in the Lord's service, and to his mother, who has always treated me like a son. 14 My greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the other Christians with them. 15 Greetings to Philologus and Julia, to Nereus and his sister, to Olympas and to all of God's people who are with them.
16 Greet one another with the kiss of peace. All the churches of Christ send you their greetings.
Final Instructions
17 I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them! 18 For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people. 19 Everyone has heard of your loyalty to the gospel, and for this reason I am happy about you. I want you to be wise about what is good, but innocent in what is evil. 20 And God, our source of peace, will soon crush Satan under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you his greetings; and so do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, fellow Jews.
22 I, Tertius, the writer of this letter, send you Christian greetings.
23 My host Gaius, in whose house the church meets, sends you his greetings; Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings.
Concluding Prayer of Praise
25 Let us give glory to God! He is able to make you stand firm in your faith, according to the Good News I preach about Jesus Christ and according to the revelation of the secret truth which was hidden for long ages in the past. 26 Now, however, that truth has been brought out into the open through the writings of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God it is made known to all nations, so that all may believe and obey.
27 To the only God, who alone is all-wise, be glory through Jesus Christ 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!
