1. NOW I introduce and commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deaconess of the church at Cenchreae,
2. That you may receive her in the Lord [with a Christian welcome], as saints (God's people) ought to receive one another. And help her in whatever matter she may require assistance from you, for she has been a helper of many including myself [shielding us from suffering].
3. Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
