16 ¶ Mwen rekòmande nou Febe, yon sè k'ap sèvi nan legliz Sankre a.

Resevwa li nan non Seyè a, jan moun k'ap viv apa pou Bondye yo dwe fè l' yonn pou lòt. Ede l' nan tou sa li ka bezwen, paske li menm li deja ede anpil moun lèfini li te ede m' anpil tou.

Di Priska ak Akilas bonjou pou mwen. Yo t'ap travay avè m' nan sèvis Jezikri a.

Yo te riske tèt yo pou sove lavi mwen. Se pa mwen sèlman k'ap di yo mesi, se tout legliz ki nan moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap di yo mèsi tou.

Di legliz ki sanble lakay yo a bonjou tou. Di Epayenèt, bon bon zanmi mwen an, bonjou. Se li menm premye moun ki te mete konfyans li nan Kris la nan peyi Lazi.

Di Mari ki te bay kò l' anpil traka pou nou an bonjou.

Di Andwonikis ak Jenyas, fanmi m' yo ki te al nan prizon ansanm avè m' yo, bonjou. Apòt yo konsidere yo anpil, yo te patizan Kris la anvan mwen.

Di Anplyatis, bon zanmi m' nan menm Seyè a, bonjou.

Di Iben, kanmarad travay mwen nan sèvis Kris la, bonjou ansanm ak Estakis, bon zanmi mwen an.

10 Di Apelès ki moutre jan li gen konfyans nan Kris la bonjou. Di moun lakay Aristobil yo bonjou.

11 Di Ewòdyon, fanmi m' lan, bonjou. Di moun lakay Nasis yo ki kwè nan Seyè a bonjou.

12 Di Trifèn ak Trifòz, de sè k'ap bay kò yo anpil traka pou Seyè a, bonjou. Di Pèsid, bon zanmi m' ki te pran anpil fatig pou Seyè a, bonjou.

13 Di Rifis, nonm Bondye chwazi pou sèvis li a, bonjou ansanm ak manman l' ki yon manman pou mwen tou.

14 Di Asenkrit, Flegon, Emès, Patwobas, Emas ak tout frè yo ki ansanm ak yo a bonjou.

15 Di Filològ ak Jili, Nere ak sè li a ansanm avek Olimpas ak tout manm legliz ki la avèk yo, bonjou.

16 Yonn bo lòt pou mwen tankou frè. Tout legliz Kris yo voye bonjou pou nou.

17 ¶ M'ap ban nou yon dènye ti konsèy, frè m' yo: Veye kò nou ak moun k'ap simen divizyon, k'ap pale kont sa yo te moutre nou an pou fè moun ki kwè yo pèdi tèt yo.

18 Moun konsa, se pa Kris la, Seyè nou an, y'ap sèvi. Se vant yo y'ap sèvi. Y'ap bay bèl pawòl, y'ap fè bèl diskou pou achte figi moun. Se konsa yo pran tèt ti inonsan yo.

19 Pou nou menm, moun lavil Wòm, tout moun konnen jan nou soumèt nou devan Seyè a. Mwen byen kontan pou nou. Men, mwen ta renmen pou nou toujou chache fè sa ki byen, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan fè sa ki mal.

20 Anvan lontan, Bondye ki bay kè poze a gen pou kraze Satan anba pye nou. Se pou benediksyon Jezi, Seyè nou an, toujou la avèk nou.

21 ¶ Timote, kanmarad travay mwen an, ansanm ak Liziyis, Jazon, Sozipatè, fanmi m' yo, yo tout voye bonjou pou nou.

22 Mwen menm, Tèsiyis, ki kouche lèt sa a sou papye, mwen voye bonjou pou nou nan renmen Kris la.

23 Gayis voye bonjou pou nou. Se lakay li mwen fè ladesant. Epi se la tou tout legliz la fè reyinyon. Eras, trezorye nan lavil la, ansanm ak frè Katis voye di nou bonjou.

24 Se pou benediksyon Jezikri, Seyè nou an, toujou la avèk nou tout.

25 ¶ Ann fè lwanj Bondye! Se li ki gen pouvwa pou fè nou kenbe fèm nan konfyans lan dapre bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a, dapre mesaj m'ap preche sou Jezikri a, dapre konesans Bondye ban nou kifè nou wè plan travay li. Se li menm ki gen pouvwa pou fè nou kenbe fèm nan konfyans sa a. Plan travay sa a te kache pandan lontan lontan.

26 Men, koulye a, li parèt aklè nan liv pwofèt yo te ekri yo. Konsa, dapre lòd ki soti nan Bondye ki la pou tout tan an, plan travay la rive an konesans moun tout lòt nasyon yo pou yo kapab mete konfyans yo nan Bondye, pou yo kapab fè volonte Bondye.

27 Wi, lwanj pou Bondye, li menm sèl ki gen bon konprann! Lwanj pou li nan Jezikri, depi tout tan epi pou tout tan! Amèn.

Personal Greetings

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.

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.

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)
