2 Please welcome her in the Lord, as believers should, and help her in whatever way she needs, because she has been a great help to many people, myself included.

5 Please also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home. Pass on my best wishes to my good friend Epaenetus, the first person to follow Christ in the province of Asia.

7 and also Andronicus and Junia, from my own country and fellow-prisoners. They are well-known among the apostles, and became followers of Christ before me.

16 Greet one another affectionately. All the churches of Christ send their greetings to you.

17 Now I'm pleading with you my fellow-believers: watch out for those who cause arguments and confuse people about the teachings you learned. Stay away from them!
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ. ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
18 These people are not serving Christ our Lord but their own appetites, and by their smooth-talking and pleasant words they deceive the minds of unsuspecting people.

19 Everyone knows how faithful you are. This makes me really happy. However, I want you to be wise about what's good, and innocent of anything bad.

20 The God of peace will soon break the power of Satan and make him subject to you. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

21 Timothy my co-worker sends his greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow-countrymen.

23 My host Gaius, and the whole church here, send you greetings. Erastus the city treasurer, sends his best wishes, as does our fellow-believer Quartus.
