CHAPTER XI.
COMMENDATION OF PHOEBE, SALUTATIONS, ETC.
1 [16:1]AND I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a minister of
the church in Cenchrea, [16:2]that you receive her in the Lord worthily

of you; for she has been an assistant of many, and of myself also.
2 [16:3]Salute Prisca [Priscilla] and Aquila my co-laborers in Christ
Jesus, [16:4]who exposed their necks for my life, to whom not only I
give thanks but all the churches of the nations; [16:5]and [salute] the
assembly at their house. Salute Epenetus my beloved, who is the first
fruit of Asia to Christ. [16:6]Salute Mary, who labored much for us.
[16:7]Salute Andronicus and Junius, my relatives and my
fellow-captives, who are distinguished among the apostles, and who were

kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.
3 [16:17]I exhort you, brothers, to observe those that cause
dissensions and offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned,
and avoid them; [16:18]for such serve not our anointed Lord, but
themselves, And by kind and complimentary words deceive the minds of
