11 For we hear that some among you (A)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but (B)busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.[a]
13 As for you, brothers, (C)do not grow weary in doing good.

Personal Greetings
16 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant[a] of the church at (A)Cenchreae, 2 that you (B)may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well.
3 Greet (C)Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 4 who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well.
