For she hath suckered many and myne awne selfe also. 3 Grete Prisca and Aquila my helpers in Christ Iesu, 4 which have for my lyfe layde doune their awne neckes. Vnto which not I only geve thankes but also the congregacion of the gentyls. 5 Lyke wyse grete all the company that is in thy housse. Salute my welbeloved Epenetos which is the fyrst frute amonge them of Achaia. 6 Grete Mary which bestowed moche labour on vs. 7 Salute Andronicus and Iunia my cosyns which were presoners with me also which are wele taken amonge the Apostles and were in Christ before me. 8 Grete Amplias my beloved in the Lorde. 9 Salute Vrban oure helper in Christ and Stachys my beloved. 10 Salute Appelles approved in Christ.

The congregacions of Christ salute you. 17 I beseche you brethren marke them which cause division and geve occasions of evyll contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoyde them. 18 For they that are suche serve not the Lorde Iesus Christ: but their awne bellyes and with swete preachinges and flatteringe wordes deceave the hertes of the innocetes. 19 For youre obedience extendeth to all men.

Amen. ‘To the Romayns. Sent from Chorinthum by Phebe she that was the minister vnto the congregacion at Chenchrea.’
