- Chapter 16 -

And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:

That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,

(Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)

And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ.

Salute Mary, who hath laboured much among you.

Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord.

Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus, and Stachys, my beloved.

Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.

Salute them that are of Aristobulus’ household. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus’ household, who are in the Lord.

Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.

Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.

Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are with them.

Salute one another with an holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

Avoid Divisions

(Titus 3:9–11)

Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.

For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.

For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.

And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Greetings from Paul’s Fellow Workers

(Colossians 4:7–14)

Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Caius, my host, and the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.

Doxology

(Jude 1:24–25)

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,

(Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;

To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant

(a)

of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,

that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles.

Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ.

Greet Mary, who labored much for us.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.

Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers(b) who are with them.

Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of Christ greet you.

Avoid Divisions

(Titus 3:9–11)

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.

And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Greetings from Paul’s Fellow Workers

(Colossians 4:7–14)

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.

Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.

Doxology

(Jude 1:24–25)

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.
