1 Mina annan teie hooleks meie õe Foibe, kes on Kenkrea koguduse käsiline,
2 et te võtaksite teda vastu Issandas, nõnda nagu sobib pühadele, ja oleksite temale abiks kõiges, milles temal iganes teid on vaja. Sest tema on abiks olnud paljudele, ka mulle enesele.
3 Tervitage minu kaastöölisi Kristuses Jeesuses, Priskat ja Akvilat,
4 kes minu elu eest on pannud oma kaela tapavalmis, keda ei täna mitte mina üksi, vaid ka kõik paganate kogudused,
5 ja kogudust nende majas. Tervitage Epainetost, minu armast, kes oli esimene Aasias pöörduma Kristuse poole.
6 Tervitage Maarjat, kes on palju vaeva näinud teie eest.
7 Tervitage Andronikost ja Juuniust, minu sugulasi ja kaasvange, kes on kuulsad Apostlite hulgas ja kes enne mind on olnud Kristuses.
8 Tervitage Ampliatost, mu armast Issandas.
9 Tervitage Urbanust, meie kaastöölist Kristuses, ja mu armast Stahhüst.
10 Tervitage Apellest, kes on läbi katsutud Kristuses. Tervitage Aristobulose perekonda.
11 Tervitage Heroodioni, minu sugulast. Tervitage Narkissose perekonna liikmeid, kes on Issandas.
12 Tervitage Trüfainat ja Trüfoosat, kes teevad tööd Issandas. Tervitage Persist, armast õde, kes on näinud palju vaeva Issandas.
13 Tervitage Ruufust, Issandas äravalitut, ja tema ema, kes on ka minu ema.
14 Tervitage Asünkritost, Flegonit, Hermest, Patrobast, Hermast ja vendi, kes on nende juures.
15 Tervitage Filologost ja Juuliat, Neereust ja tema õde ja Olümpat ja kõiki pühasid, kes on nende juures.
16 Tervitage üksteist püha suudlusega. Kõik Kristuse kogudused tervitavad teid.
17 Aga mina manitsen teid, vennad, pidama silmas neid, kes tekitavad lõhesid ja pahandust õpetuse vastu, mis te olete õppinud, ja tõmbuge neist tagasi.
18 Sest niisugused inimesed ei teeni mitte meie Issandat Jeesust, vaid oma kõhtu, ja petavad magusate sõnadega ja libedate kõnedega tõemeelsete südameid.
19 Sest teie sõnakuulmine on saanud kõigile teatavaks; seepärast ma rõõmustun teist, kuid tahan, et teie oleksite targad heale, aga kohtlased pahale.
20 Aga rahu Jumal tallab varsti saatana teie jalge alla. Meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse arm olgu teiega! Aamen.
21 Teid tervitavad Timoteos, minu kaastööline, ja Luukius ja Jaason ja Sosipatros, minu sugulased.
22 Mina, Tertius, kes ma selle kirja olen kirjutanud, tervitan teid Issandas.
23 Teid tervitab Gaajus, kes on olnud külalislahke minule ja kõigele kogudusele. Teid tervitab Erastos, linna laekur, ja vend Kvartus.
24 Meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse arm olgu teie kõikidega! Aamen.
25 Ent sellele, kes teid võib kinnitada minu Evangeeliumi ja Jeesuse Kristuse jutluse järgi selle saladuse ilmutust mööda, mis on olnud igavesest ajast varjul,
26 aga nüüd on saanud avalikuks ja on prohvetite kirjade kaudu igavese Jumala käsul tehtud teatavaks kõigile rahvastele usu sõnakuulelikkuse saavutamiseks -
27 ainsale targale Jumalale, Jeesuse Kristuse läbi, Temale olgu au ajastute ajastuteni! Aamen.
1 It is my desire to say a good word for Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchreae:
2 That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.
3 Give my love to Prisca and Aquila, workers with me in Christ Jesus,
4 Who for my life put their necks in danger; to whom not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are in debt:
5 And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.
6 Give my love to Mary, who gave much care to you.
7 Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.
8 Give my love to Ampliatus, who is dear to me in the Lord,
9 Give my love to Urbanus, a worker in Christ with us, and to my dear Stachys.
10 Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.
11 Give my love to Herodion, my relation. Say a kind word to those of the house of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
12 Give my love to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Give my love to my dear Persis, who did much work in the Lord.
13 Give my love to Rufus, one of the Lord's selection, and to his mother and mine.
14 Give my love to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
15 Give my love to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16 Give one another a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their love to you.
17 Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.
18 For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.
19 For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.
20 And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21 Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations.
22 I, Tertius, who have done the writing of this letter, send love in the Lord.
23 Gaius, with whom I am living, whose house is open to all the church, sends his love, so does Erastus, the manager of the accounts of the town, and Quartus, the brother.
24 []
25 Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,
26 But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;
27 To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.
