Greet My Friends

Greet Prisca and Aquila— my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their own neck for my life, to whom not only am I giving-thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles— and the church at their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruit of Asia for Christ. Greet Mary, who labored-at many things for you. Greet Andronicus and Junias[a], my kinsmen[b] and my fellow-captives[c], who are notable[d] among[e] the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord. Greet Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 10 Greet Apelles, the approved one in Christ. Greet the ones from the ones of [f] Aristobulus. 11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet the ones from the ones of Narcissus, the ones being in the Lord. 12 Greet Tryphaena[g] and Tryphosa, the ones laboring in the Lord. Greet Persis[h] the beloved, who labored-at many things in the Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, the chosen one in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brothers with them. 15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
