Daniel P. Barron

1 And I commend to you Phoebe ⁱ our sister, being a servant of the assembly, the one in Cenchrea, 2 so that you might receive her in lord worthy of the saints and assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself also was a help of many and of myself.

3 Greet Prisca ⁱⁱ and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Joshua, 4 whom, for my soul, laid down their own neck, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations 5 and the assembly at their house. Greet Epaenetus, ⁱⁱⁱ my beloved, who is a firstfruit of the Achaia into Christ.

6 Greet Mariam, ^iv who labored much for us. 7 Greet Andronicus ^v and Junia ^vi my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, ^vii who also have been in Christ before me. 8 Greet Amplias, ^viii my beloved in lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, ^ix our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, ^x my beloved.

10 Greet Apelles, ^xi the approved in Christ. Greet those of the Aristobulus. ^xii 11 Greet Herodian, ^xiii my kinsman. Greet those of the Narcissus, ^xiv those who are in lord. 12 Greet Tryphena ^xv and Tryphosa, ^xvi the laborers in lord. Greet Persis, ^xvii the beloved, who labored much in lord. 13 Greet Rufus, the elect in lord, and his mother and mine. ^xviii 14 Greet Asyncritus, ^xix Phlegon, ^xx Hermas, ^xxi Patrobas, ^xxii Hermes, and those brethren with them. 15 Greet Philologus ^xxiii and Julia, ^xxiv Nereus ^xxv and his sister, and Olympas, ^xxvi and all the saints with them. 16 Greet one another in a holy kiss. ^xxvii The assemblies of the Christ greet you.

17 And I exhort you, brethren, to note those who make the divisions and the offenses contrary to the teaching that you learned, and turn aside ^xxviii from them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our lord Joshua Christ, but their own belly, and through smooth words and blessing ^xxix they deceive the hearts of the innocent. ^xxx

19 For your obedience reached all. Therefore, I rejoice over you. And I desire you to be indeed wise concerning the good, and pure ^xxxi concerning the bad. 20 And the God of the peace will crush the Satan under your feet in speed. The grace of our lord Joshua Christ be with you. ^xxxii

21 Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, ^xxxiii my kinsmen greet you. 22 I, Tertius, ^xxxiv the one writing the letter, greet you in lord. 23 Gaius, the host of me and the whole assembly greets you. Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus, ^xxxv the brother, greet you. 24 The grace of our lord Joshua Christ be with you all. Amen. ^xxxvi

25 And to the one able to establish you according to my good news and the preaching of Joshua Christ, according to a revelation of a mystery kept silent in eternal times, ^xxxvii 26 but now made manifest, and through prophetic writings according to a command of the eternal God, for obedience of faith, made known unto all the nations. ^xxxviii 27 To God alone wise, through Joshua Christ, to whom be the glory unto the ages. ^xxxix Amen.

30. As in 2 Peter 2:18 they deceive "the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error." (NKJV) "Innocent" here is ἀκάκων, (akakôn) which is an alpha negated word for "bad" (κακόν [kokon], e.g. Romans 16:19) giving it an opposite meaning. (i.e. good) It is found also only in Hebrews 7:26 of Christ ("innocent" NAS; "harmless" NKJV).

37. χρόνοις αἰωνίοις (chronois aiôniois) “eternal times” Green, DLNT; “world began” NKJV; “long ages past” NAS – the word for eternal here (αἰωνίοις) is the same word for “eternal” in the next verse (vs 26, αἰωνίου [aiôniou]). ^
38. See also Acts 2:5; Colossians 1:5-6, 23. ^
39. αἰῶνας (aiônas) “ages” YLT; “forever” NKJV – this is a different word than “eternal” in verses 25-26. ^
