5. Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ.

6. Greet Mary, who labored much for us.

7. Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

8. Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

9. Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

10. Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

11. Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

12. Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.

13. Greet Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

14. Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.

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

16. Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of Christ greet you.

17. Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

12. Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

13. so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

14. and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

15. Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

16. The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

17. but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

18. What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.

Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
