16 I, Paul, recommend to you our fellow believer whose name is Phoebe. She also serves the group of believers that meets in the city of Cenchrea. 2 I recommend Phoebe to you in order for you to accept her as a fellow believer in the Lord Jesus. Accept her in a way that is appropriate for God’s people. I also recommend her to you in order for you to help her in whatever way and with anything she might need from you. Do this because she has helped many people, including me personally.
3 Say hello to Priscilla and her husband Aquila. They have worked with me to tell people about the Messiah Jesus. 4 They risked the Romans executing them in order to save my life. Both I and all the groups of believers among the nations are thankful for them. 5 Also, say hello to the group of believers that meets in the home of Priscilla and Aquila. Say hello to Epaenetus, whom I love. He is the first person from the province of Asia Minor to believe in the Messiah Jesus. 6 Say hello to Mary. She has labored a lot for your sake. 7 Say hello to Andronicus and Junia. They are my fellow Jews, and we were in prison together. Those whom Jesus sent to represent him know them very well. God united them to the Messiah before he did so to me. 8 Say hello to Ampliatus. I love him as a fellow believer in the Lord Jesus. 9 Say hello to Urbanus. He works with us to tell people about the Messiah Jesus. Also say hello to Stachys, whom I love. 10 Say hello to Apelles. The Messiah Jesus has approved him. Say hello to those believers who live in the household of Aristobulus. 11 Say hello to my fellow Jew Herodion. Say hello to those whom God united to the Lord Jesus who live in the household of Narcissus. 12 Say hello to Tryphaena and Tryphosa. These ladies labor to tell people about the Lord Jesus. Say hello to Persis, whom I love. She has labored a lot to tell people about the Lord Jesus. 13 Say hello to Rufus. The Lord Jesus chose him. Also say hello to his mother. She has been like a mother to me as well. 14 Say hello to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and our fellow believers who meet together with them. 15 Say hello to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas. Also say hello to all God’s people who meet together with them. 16 Say hello to each other in a loving way. All of the groups of believers who belong to the Messiah in this area say hello to you!
17 My fellow believers, I exhort you to look out for the people who are causing believers to argue with each other and tempting them to sin, which contradicts what we have taught you. Stay away from them! 18 Indeed, people like this are not serving our Lord Jesus the Messiah! Rather, they only serve their own appetites. By speaking so eloquently and flatteringly, they trick the minds of people who do not suspect them of teaching what is false. 19 I tell you these things because believers in many places have heard about how you obey God. As a result, I am overjoyed because of you! But I also desire that you act wisely with regard to what is good and remain innocent with regard to what is bad. 20 The God who makes us peaceful will quickly make you victorious over Satan, as if you were tramplinghim under your feet! I pray that our Lord Jesus the Messiah will be gracious to you!
21 Timothy, who works with me to tell people about Jesus, says hello to you. My fellow Jews, Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, also say hello to you. 22 I am Tertius, and I am writing this letter as Paul dictates it to me. I say hello to you as a fellow believer in the Lord Jesus. 23 Gaius says hello to you. He hosts me and the whole group of believers who meet here. Erastus controls the money for this city. He and Quartus, our fellow believer, say hello to you. 24 [fn] [I pray that our Lord Jesus the Messiah will be gracious to all of you! May it be so!]
25 I pray that everyone will glorify God. He is the one who can strengthen you spiritually based on the good news that I proclaim about Jesus the Messiah. What I proclaim is based on the mysterious plan that God revealed but previously concealed from people for a very long time. 26 However, now God has revealed that mysterious plan. He has made it known through his prophets who wrote about it in the Scriptures. They did this according to what the God who lives forever commanded in order that all the nations would obey God by trusting in Jesus the Messiah. 27 God alone is wise. I pray that everyone will glorify him through Jesus the Messiah forever! May it be so!
