16 I recommend to you achoteinu (our sister) Phoebe, the Messianic Shammash of the kehillah in Cenchreae,

² That you be mekarev (welcome and treat well) to her in Adoneinu, in a manner worthy of the Kadoshim and assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you. For she herself has also been patroness of many and of myself.

³ Drishat Shalom to Prisca and Aquila my fellow po’alim (workers) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua

⁴ Who performed an act of Messianic mesirat nefesh (whole-hearted devotion to the cause of Moshiach, even at risk of life) for my sake, and for whom not only I give thanks, but also kol kehillot of the Nations;

⁵ Also Drishat Shalom to the kehillah (congregation) that meets in their house. Drishat Shalom to my beloved Epaenetus, who is the bikkurim (firstfruits) of Asia [T. N. today’s Turkey] for Moshiach.

⁶ Drishat Shalom to Miryam, who has labored much for you.

⁷ Drishat Shalom to Andronicus and Junia, my kinsfolk and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among Moshiach’s shlichim, and also were in Moshiach before me.

⁸ Drishat Shalom to Ampliatus, my beloved chaver in Adoneinu.

⁹ Drishat Shalom to Urbanus, our fellow po’el (worker) in Moshiach, and my beloved Stachys.

¹⁰ Drishat Shalom to Apelles, approved in Moshiach. Drishat Shalom to those from the household of Aristobulus.

¹¹ Drishat Shalom to Herodion, my kinsman. Drishat Shalom to those of the household of Narcissus who are in Adoneinu.

¹² Drishat Shalom to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard in Adoneinu. Drishat Shalom to the beloved Persis, who has labored much in Adoneinu.

¹³ Drishat Shalom to Rufus the Bechir (the Chosen one) in Adoneinu; also his Em and mine.

¹⁴ Drishat Shalom to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the Achim b’Moshiach with them.

¹⁵ Drishat Shalom to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his achot; also Olympas and all the Kadoshim with them.

¹⁶ Greet one another with a neshikat hakodesh. All the Kehillot of Moshiach send you Drishat Shalom.

¹⁷ I appeal to you, Achim b’Moshiach, to look out for those who cause kitot (sects) and nisyonot (temptations) contrary to the Torah which you learned, and keep away from them.

¹⁸ For such people do not serve Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu but their own appetites, and through smooth loshon and fine sounding words they deceive the levavot of the unsuspecting.

¹⁹ For your mishma’at has become known to all. So I have simcha over you, but want you to be chachamim regarding what is HaTov and innocent regarding what is HaRah.

²⁰ And Elohei HaShalom will soon crush Hasatan under your feet. Chesed Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua yi’heyeh immachem (The unmerited favor, mercy and grace of Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua be with you).

²¹ Timotiyos my fellow po’el sends Drishat Shalom to you; also Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

²² I, Tertius, who have written the iggeret, send Drishat Shalom to you in Adoneinu.

²³ Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole kehillah sends Drishat Shalom to you. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends Drishat Shalom to you, also the Ach b’Moshiach, Quartus.

²⁴ [The chen v’chesed of Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua be with you all. Omein.]

²⁵ To him who is able to establish you by my Besuras HaGeualah, and the hachrazah (proclamation, kerygma) of Moshiach Yehoshua, in the hisgalus haSod concealed for long ages,

²⁶ but now made manifest and through Ketuvim Nevu’iyim, in accordance with the mitzvoh of the Elohei Olam (the Eternal G-d), made known for the mishma’at (obedience) of emunah for kol haGoyim,

²⁷ to the only Elohim heChacham (only wise G-d), lo HaKavod b’Moshiach Yehoshua. Omein.
