3. Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, who have worked together with me for Christ Jesus.
4. They risked their own lives to save mine. I am thankful to them, and all the non-Jewish churches are thankful to them.
5. Also, give greetings to the church that meets in their house. Give greetings to my dear friend Epaenetus. He was the first person to follow Christ in Asia.
6. Greetings also to Mary. She worked very hard for you.
7. And greet Andronicus and Junia. They are my relatives, and they were in prison with me. They were followers of Christ before I was. And they are some of the most important of the ones Christ sent out to do his work.
8. Give my greetings to Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord,
9. and to Urbanus. He has worked together with me for Christ. Give greetings also to my dear friend Stachys
10. and to Apelles, who has proved himself to be a true follower of Christ. Give greetings to everyone in the family of Aristobulus
11. and to Herodion, my relative. Greetings to all those in the family of Narcissus who belong to the Lord
12. and to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, women who work very hard for the Lord. Greetings to my dear friend Persis. She has also worked very hard for the Lord.
13. Greetings also to Rufus, one of the Lord’s chosen people, and to his mother, who has been a mother to me too.
14. Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the brothers in Christ who are with them.
15. Give greetings to Philologus and Julia, to Nereus and his sister, to Olympas, and to all of God’s people with them.
16. Give each other the special greeting of God’s people. All the churches that belong to Christ send their greetings to you.
17. Brothers and sisters, I want you to be very careful of those who cause arguments and hurt people’s faith by teaching things that are against what you learned. Stay away from them.
18. People like that are not serving our Lord Christ. They are only pleasing themselves. They use fancy talk and say nice things to fool those who don’t know about evil.
19. Everyone has heard that you do what you were taught, and I am very happy about that. But I want you to be wise about what is good and to know nothing about what is evil.
