Greetings and Love Expressed

16 I ^(A)recommend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a ^[a]servant of the church which is at ^(B)Cenchrea, ² that you ^(C)receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the ^[b](D)saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, ^[c]and of myself as well.

²³ and they ^(A)exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and ^[a]crawling creatures.

¹⁰ always in my prayers requesting if perhaps now, at last by ^(A)the will of God, I will succeed in coming to you.

²⁸ Therefore, when I have finished this, and ^(A)have ^[a]put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will ^(B)go on by way of you to Spain. ²⁹ I know that when ^(C)I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
