1 Annan teille suositukseni sisarestamme Foibesta, joka on Kenkrean seurakunnan palvelija.

2 Ottakaa hänet vastaan Herran palvelijana niin kuin pyhille sopii ja auttakaa häntä kaikessa, missä hän tarvitsee teitä. Onhan hän itsekin ollut tukena monille, myös minulle.

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.
