13. Greet Rufus, whom the Lord picked out to be his very own; and also his dear mother, who has been a mother to me.
14. Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers and sisters who meet with them.
15. Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas and all the believers who meet with them.
16. Greet each other with a sacred kiss. All the churches of Christ send you their greetings.
17. And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.
18. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
