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.
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.
