1 Препоручујем вам, пак, Фиву сестру нашу, која је слушкиња код цркве у Кенхреји, 2 да је примите у Господу као што приликује светима, и да јој будете у помоћи у свакој ствари коју од вас затреба; јер је она многима помогла, и самоме мени. 3 Поздравите Прискилу и Акилу, помоћнике моје у Христу Исусу, 4 који за душу моју своје вратове положише, којима не ја један захваљујем, него и све цркве незнабожачке, и домашњу цркву њихову. 5 Поздравите Епенета, мени љубазног, који је новина из Ахаје у Христа. 6 Поздравите Марију, која се много трудила за нас. 7 Поздравите Андроника и Јунију, родбину моју, и моје другаре у сужањству који су знаменити међу апостолима, који и пре мене вероваше Христа. 8 Поздравите Амплија, мени љубазног у Господу. 9 Поздравите Урбана, помоћника нашег у Христу, и Стахија, мени љубазног. 10 Поздравите Апелија, окушаног у Христу. Поздравите домаће Аристовулове. 11 Поздравите Иродијона, рођака мог. Поздравите домаће Наркисове, који су у Господу. 12 Поздравите Трифену и Трифосу, које се труде у Господу. Поздравите Персиду љубазну, која се много трудила у Господу. 13 Поздравите Руфа избраног у Господу, и матер његову и моју. 14 Поздравите Асинкрита, Флегонта, Ерма, Патрова, Ермија, и браћу која су с њима. 15 Поздравите Филолога и Јулију, Ниреја и сестру његову, и Олимпана, и све свете који су с њима. 16 Поздравите један другог целивом светим. Поздрављају вас све цркве Христове. 17 Молим вас, пак, браћо, чувајте се од оних који чине распре и раздоре на штету науке коју ви научисте, и уклоните се од њих; 18 јер такви не служе Господу нашем Исусу Христу него свом трбуху, и благим речима и благословима прелашћују срца безазлених. 19 Јер ваше слушање разгласи се свуда. И радујем се за вас; али хоћу да сте ви мудри на добро а прости на зло. 20 А Бог мира да сатре сотону под ноге ваше скоро. Благодат Господа нашег Исуса Христа с вама. Амин. 21 Поздравља вас Тимотије, помоћник мој, и Лукије и Јасон и Сосипатар, рођаци моји. 22 Поздрављам вас и ја Тертије, који написах ову посланицу у Господу. 23 Поздравља вас Гај, домаћин мој и целе цркве. Поздравља вас Ераст, благајник градски, и брат Кварт. 24 Благодат Господа нашег Исуса Христа са свима вама. Амин. 25 А ономе који вас може утврдити по јеванђељу мом и проповедању Исуса Христа, по откривењу тајне која је била сакривена од постања света, 26 а сад се јавила и обзнанила кроз писма пророчка, по заповести вечног Бога, за послушање вере међу свима незнабошцима, 27 једином премудром Богу, кроз Исуса Христа, слава вавек. Амин.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
I Think that many even of those who have the appearance of being extremely good men, hasten over this part of the Epistle as superfluous, and having no great weight in it. And I think that the same befalls them in regard to the genealogy that is in the Gospel.

… for them?" That we might watch, and be ever prepared for conflict, guarding against our disguised as well as against our open enemies: which kind indeed Paul also was intimating, when he said, that "by their good words they deceive the hearts of the simple." Let us not be troubled therefore, when we see many such even now.
