1 Je vous recommande Phœbé, notre sœur, qui est diaconesse de l’Église de Cenchrées,
[By means of this letter] I am introducing and recommending to you our fellow believer Phoebe, [who will be taking this letter to you]. She is a deacon in the congregation in Cenchrea [city].
2 afin que vous la receviez en notre Seigneur d’une manière digne des saints, et que vous l’assistiez dans les choses où elle aurait besoin de vous, car elle a donné aide à plusieurs et à moi-même.
[I request that] you receive her because of her relationship with the Lord. [You should do that because] those who are God’s people ought to receive [their fellow believers].

3 Saluez Prisca et Aquilas, mes compagnons d’œuvre en Jésus-Christ,
Tell Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila that I (send greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. They worked with me for Christ Jesus,

[Believers] everywhere know that you have paid attention to [the good message about Christ], with the result that I rejoice about you. But I also want you to be wise, [with the result that you do] what is good. I also want you to avoid doing what is evil.
