| 1 And I commend to you Phoebe our sister,–being a minister [also] of the assembly which is in Cenchreae; |
|
| 2 In order that ye may give her welcome in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and stand by her in any matter wherein she may have need of you; for, she also, hath proved to be a defender of many, and of my own self. |

| 17 But I beseech you, brethren, to keep an eye upon them who are causing divisions and occasions of stumbling, aside from the teaching which, ye, have learned,–and be turning away from them; |
|
| 18 For, they who are such, unto our Lord Christ are not doing service, but unto their own belly,–and, through their smooth and flattering speech, deceive the hearts of the innocent. |
|
| 19 For, your obedience, unto all hath reached,–over you, therefore, I rejoice! But I wish you–to be wise, [indeed], as to that which is good, yet pure, as to that which is evil. |

| 25 Now, unto him who hath power to establish you, according to my glad-message–even the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of a sacred secret, in age-past times kept silent, |
|
| 26 But now made manifest, and through means of prophetic scriptures, according to the command of the age-abiding God, for obedience of faith unto all the nations made known, |
|
| 27 Unto a God, wise alone, through Jesus Christ, [unto whom] be the glory, unto the ages. Amen. |
