保罗推荐菲比

16 我向你们推荐我们的姐妹菲比,她是坚革里教会的女执事[a] 请你们在主里以圣徒配得的方式来欢迎她。无论她在什么事上需要你们,都请你们帮助她,因为她实在帮助了许多人,也帮助了我。

问候信徒

请问候普茜拉阿奎拉;他们是我在基督耶稣里的同工。 为我的生命,他们将自己的生死置之度外[b]。不单我感激他们,就是外邦的各教会也都感激他们。
请问候在他们家里的教会。
请问候我亲爱的以佩尼托,他是亚细亚省归入基督的初熟果子。
请问候玛丽亚,她为你们[c]多多劳苦。
请问候与我一起坐过牢的同胞安德罗尼克犹尼亚,他们在使徒中有名望,也比我先成为在基督里的。
请问候在主里我亲爱的安普利亚托
请问候欧巴诺,他是我们在基督里的同工,也问候我亲爱的斯塔库斯
10 请问候阿比利斯,他在基督里经过了考验。
请问候亚利多布家里的人。
11 请问候我的同胞希罗迪恩
请问候纳吉苏家中在主里的人。
12 请问候在主里劳苦的特鲁菲娜特鲁弗萨
请问候亲爱的佩西丝,她在主里多多劳苦。
13 请问候在主里蒙拣选的鲁弗斯和他的母亲,对我来说他的母亲就是我的母亲。
14 请问候阿森克里托弗勒贡赫米斯帕特罗巴赫马斯,以及与他们在一起的弟兄们。
15 请问候非罗罗古犹莉娅尼利亚和他的妹妹[d],以及奥林帕斯,还有与他们在一起的所有圣徒。
16 你们要用圣洁的亲吻礼彼此问候。
基督的各教会都问候你们。

要留心制造分裂的人

17 弟兄们,我劝你们,要留心那些针对你们所受的教导而制造分裂和绊脚石的人。你们要远离他们。 18 因为这样的人不是服事我们的主基督[e],而是服事自己的私欲[f]。他们用花言巧语,欺骗单纯人的心。

称赞与祝福

19 你们的顺从,大家都知道了,所以我为你们而欢喜。但我希望你们在善事上有智慧,在恶事上无知[g] 20 赐平安的神,很快要把撒旦压碎在你们的脚下。愿我们主耶稣[h]的恩典与你们同在!

21 我的同工提摩太和我的同胞卢吉斯耶森索西巴特都问候你们。

22 代笔写这书信的我——特提乌斯,在主里问候你们。

23 那接待我,也接待全教会的盖尤斯问候你们。本城的财务官以拉斯托和弟兄库尔托斯问候你们。

24 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与你们大家同在!阿们。[i]

荣耀归于神

25 愿荣耀归于神——他能藉着我的福音和有关耶稣基督的传道,藉着奥秘的启示坚固你们。这奥秘亘古以来是隐藏的, 26 然而如今已经得以显现;并且按照永恒神的命令,藉着先知们的经文显明了出来。这是为要在万民中带来信仰上的顺从—— 27 愿荣耀,藉着耶稣基督,归于这位独一全智的神,直到永远!阿们。[j]

16 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

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

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

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

Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.

11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.

12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

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

15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

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

23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

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

25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

Personal Greetings

16 I commend(A) to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[a][b] of the church in Cenchreae.(B) I ask you to receive her in the Lord(C) in a way worthy of his people(D) and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.

Greet Priscilla[c] and Aquila,(E) my co-workers(F) in Christ Jesus.(G) They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house.(H)

Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert(I) to Christ in the province of Asia.(J)

Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews(K) who have been in prison with me.(L) They are outstanding among[d] the apostles, and they were in Christ(M) before I was.

Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ,(N) and my dear friend Stachys.

10 Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test.(O)

Greet those who belong to the household(P) of Aristobulus.

11 Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew.(Q)

Greet those in the household(R) of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord.

Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.

13 Greet Rufus,(S) chosen(T) in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(W)

All the churches of Christ send greetings.

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(X) Keep away from them.(Y) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(Z) but their own appetites.(AA) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(AB) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(AC) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(AD)

20 The God of peace(AE) will soon crush(AF) Satan(AG) under your feet.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(AH)

21 Timothy,(AI) my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius,(AJ) Jason(AK) and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.(AL)

22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius,(AM) whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings.

Erastus,(AN) who is the city’s director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. [24] [e]

25 Now to him who is able(AO) to establish you in accordance with my gospel,(AP) the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery(AQ) hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings(AR) by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from[f] faith(AS) 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.(AT)
