in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only do I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;

Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
