He concludes with salutations, bidding them beware of all that should oppose the doctrine they had learned.
1 And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:
Commendo autem vobis Phoeben sororem nostram, quae est in ministerio ecclesiae, quae est in Cenchris :
2 That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.
ut eam suscipiatis in Domino digne sanctis : et assistatis ei in quocumque negotio vestri indiguerit : etenim ipsa quoque astitit multis, et mihi ipsi.
3 Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,
Salutate Priscam et Aquilam, adjutores meos in Christo Jesu
4 (Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)
( qui pro anima mea suas cervices supposuerunt : quibus non solus ego gratias ago, sed et cunctae ecclesiae gentium),

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
Rogo autem vos fratres, ut observetis eos qui dissensiones et offendicula, praeter doctrinam, quam vos didicistis, faciunt, et declinate ab illis.
18 For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.
Hujuscemodi enim Christo Domino nostro non serviunt, sed suo ventri : et per dulces sermones et benedictiones seducunt corda innocentium.
19 For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.
Vestra enim obedientia in omnem locum divulgata est. Gaudeo igitur in vobis. Sed volo vos sapientes esse in bono, et simplices in malo.
20 And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Deus autem pacis conterat Satanam sub pedibus vestris velociter. Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi vobiscum.

24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
25 Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,
Ei autem, qui potens est vos confirmare juxta Evangelium meum, et praedicationem Jesu Christi, secundum revelationem mysterii temporibus aeternis taciti
26 (Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;
( quod nunc patefactum est per Scripturas prophetarum secundum praeceptum aeterni Dei, ad obeditionem fidei), in cunctis gentibus cogniti,
27 To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
soli sapienti Deo, per Jesum Christum, cui honor et gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
