Raccomandazioni e saluti

16 Vi raccomando Febe, nostra sorella, diaconessa della Chiesa di Cencre: ricevetela nel Signore, come si conviene ai credenti, e assistetela in qualunque cosa abbia bisogno; anch'essa infatti ha protetto molti, e anche me stesso.

Salutate Prisca e Aquila, miei collaboratori in Cristo Gesù; per salvarmi la vita essi hanno rischiato la loro testa, e ad essi non io soltanto sono grato, ma tutte le Chiese dei Gentili; salutate anche la comunità che si riunisce nella loro casa.

Salutate il mio caro Epèneto, primizia dell'Asia per Cristo. Salutate Maria, che ha faticato molto per voi. Salutate Andronìco e Giunia, miei parenti e compagni di prigionia; sono degli apostoli insigni che erano in Cristo gia prima di me. Salutate Ampliato, mio diletto nel Signore. Salutate Urbano, nostro collaboratore in Cristo, e il mio caro Stachi. 10 Salutate Apelle che ha dato buona prova in Cristo. Salutate i familiari di Aristòbulo. 11 Salutate Erodione, mio parente. Salutate quelli della casa di Narcìso che sono nel Signore. 12 Salutate Trifèna e Trifòsa che hanno lavorato per il Signore. Salutate la carissima Pèrside che ha lavorato per il Signore. 13 Salutate Rufo, questo eletto nel Signore, e la madre sua che è anche mia. 14 Salutate Asìncrito, Flego'sìnte, Erme, Pàtroba, Erma e i fratelli che sono con loro. 15 Salutate Filòlogo e Giulia, Nèreo e sua sorella e Olimpas e tutti i credenti che sono con loro. 16 Salutatevi gli uni gli altri con il bacio santo. Vi salutano tutte le chiese di Cristo.

Avvertimento. Primo post-scriptum

17 Mi raccomando poi, fratelli, di ben guardarvi da coloro che provocano divisioni e ostacoli contro la dottrina che avete appreso: tenetevi lontani da loro. 18 Costoro, infatti, non servono Cristo nostro Signore, ma il proprio ventre e con un parlare solenne e lusinghiero ingannano il cuore dei semplici.

19 La fama della vostra obbedienza è giunta dovunque; mentre quindi mi rallegro di voi, voglio che siate saggi nel bene e immuni dal male. 20 Il Dio della pace stritolerà ben presto satana sotto i vostri piedi. La grazia del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo sia con voi.

Ultimi saluti. Secondo post-scriptum

21 Vi saluta Timòteo mio collaboratore, e con lui Lucio, Giasone, Sosìpatro, miei parenti. 22 Vi saluto nel Signore anch'io, Terzo, che ho scritto la lettera. 23 Vi saluta Gaio, che ospita me e tutta la comunità. Vi salutano Erasto, tesoriere della città, e il fratello Quarto.

Dossologia

25 A colui che ha il potere di confermarvi
secondo il vangelo che io annunzio e il messaggio di
Gesù Cristo,
secondo la rivelazione del mistero taciuto per secoli
eterni,
26 ma rivelato ora e annunziato mediante le scritture
profetiche,
per ordine dell'eterno Dio, a tutte le genti
perché obbediscano alla fede,
27 a Dio che solo è sapiente,
per mezzo di Gesù Cristo,
la gloria nei secoli dei secoli. Amen.

16 συνιστημι δε υμιν φοιβην την αδελφην ημων ουσαν [και] διακονον της εκκλησιας της εν κεγχρεαις

ινα προσδεξησθε αυτην εν κυριω αξιως των αγιων και παραστητε αυτη εν ω αν υμων χρηζη πραγματι και γαρ αυτη προστατις πολλων εγενηθη και εμου αυτου

ασπασασθε πρισκαν και ακυλαν τους συνεργους μου εν χριστω ιησου

οιτινες υπερ της ψυχης μου τον εαυτων τραχηλον υπεθηκαν οις ουκ εγω μονος ευχαριστω αλλα και πασαι αι εκκλησιαι των εθνων

και την κατ οικον αυτων εκκλησιαν ασπασασθε επαινετον τον αγαπητον μου ος εστιν απαρχη της ασιας εις χριστον

ασπασασθε μαριαν ητις πολλα εκοπιασεν εις υμας

ασπασασθε ανδρονικον και ιουνιαν τους συγγενεις μου και συναιχμαλωτους μου οιτινες εισιν επισημοι εν τοις αποστολοις οι και προ εμου γεγοναν εν χριστω

ασπασασθε αμπλιατον τον αγαπητον μου εν κυριω

ασπασασθε ουρβανον τον συνεργον ημων εν χριστω και σταχυν τον αγαπητον μου

10 ασπασασθε απελλην τον δοκιμον εν χριστω ασπασασθε τους εκ των αριστοβουλου

11 ασπασασθε ηρωδιωνα τον συγγενη μου ασπασασθε τους εκ των ναρκισσου τους οντας εν κυριω

12 ασπασασθε τρυφαιναν και τρυφωσαν τας κοπιωσας εν κυριω ασπασασθε περσιδα την αγαπητην ητις πολλα εκοπιασεν εν κυριω

13 ασπασασθε ρουφον τον εκλεκτον εν κυριω και την μητερα αυτου και εμου

14 ασπασασθε ασυγκριτον φλεγοντα ερμην πατροβαν ερμαν και τους συν αυτοις αδελφους

15 ασπασασθε φιλολογον και ιουλιαν νηρεα και την αδελφην αυτου και ολυμπαν και τους συν αυτοις παντας αγιους

16 ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγιω ασπαζονται υμας αι εκκλησιαι πασαι του χριστου

17 παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι σκοπειν τους τας διχοστασιας και τα σκανδαλα παρα την διδαχην ην υμεις εμαθετε ποιουντας και εκκλινετε απ αυτων

18 οι γαρ τοιουτοι τω κυριω ημων χριστω ου δουλευουσιν αλλα τη εαυτων κοιλια και δια της χρηστολογιας και ευλογιας εξαπατωσιν τας καρδιας των ακακων

19 η γαρ υμων υπακοη εις παντας αφικετο εφ υμιν ουν χαιρω θελω δε υμας σοφους [μεν] ειναι εις το αγαθον ακεραιους δε εις το κακον

20 ο δε θεος της ειρηνης συντριψει τον σαταναν υπο τους ποδας υμων εν ταχει η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου μεθ υμων

21 ασπαζεται υμας τιμοθεος ο συνεργος [μου] και λουκιος και ιασων και σωσιπατρος οι συγγενεις μου

22 ασπαζομαι υμας εγω τερτιος ο γραψας την επιστολην εν κυριω

23 ασπαζεται υμας γαιος ο ξενος μου και ολης της εκκλησιας ασπαζεται υμας εραστος ο οικονομος της πολεως και κουαρτος ο αδελφος

24  25 τω δε δυναμενω υμας στηριξαι κατα το ευαγγελιον μου και το κηρυγμα ιησου χριστου κατα αποκαλυψιν μυστηριου χρονοις αιωνιοις σεσιγημενου

26 φανερωθεντος δε νυν δια τε γραφων προφητικων κατ επιταγην του αιωνιου θεου εις υπακοην πιστεως εις παντα τα εθνη γνωρισθεντος

27 μονω σοφω θεω δια ιησου χριστου [ω] η δοξα εις τους αιωνας αμην

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.

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)

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)

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)
