14 Greet ^G782 Asyncritus ^G799, Phlegon ^G5393, Hermes ^G2060, Patrobas ^G3969, Hermas ^G2057 and the brothers ^G80 with them.

All ^G3956 the churches ^G1577 of Christ ^G5547 greet ^G782 you.

17 Now ^G1161 I urge ^G3870 you, brothers ^G80, to keep ^G4648 your eye ^G4648 on ^G4648 those ^G3588 who cause ^G4160 dissensions ^G1370 and stumblings ^G4625 contrary ^G3844 to the teaching ^G1322 which ^G3739 you learned ^G3129, and turn ^G1578 away ^G1578 from them. 18 For such ^G5108 men ^G5108 are slaves ^G1398, not of our Lord ^G2962 Christ ^G5547 but of their own ^G1438 [fn]stomach ^G2836, and by their smooth ^G5542 and flattering ^G2129 speech ^G2129 they deceive ^G1818 the hearts ^G2588 of the unsuspecting ^G172. 19 For the report of your obedience ^G5218 has reached ^G864 to all ^G3956. Therefore ^G3767 I am rejoicing ^G5463 over ^G1909 you, but I want ^G2309 you to be wise ^G4680 in what ^G18 is ^G18 good ^G18 and innocent ^G185 in what ^G2556 is ^G2556 evil ^G2556. 20 And the God ^G2316 of peace ^G1515 will soon ^G5034 crush ^G4937 Satan ^G4567 under ^G5259 your feet ^G4228.

The grace ^G5485 of our Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 be with you.

21 Timothy ^G5095 my fellow ^G4904 worker ^G4904 greets ^G782 you, and so do Lucius ^G3066 and Jason ^G2394 and Sosipater ^G4989, my kinsmen ^G4773.

22 I, Tertius ^G5060, who wrote ^G1125 this ^G3588 letter ^G1992, greet ^G782 you in the Lord ^G2962.

23 Gaius ^G1050, host ^G3581 to me and to the whole ^G3650 church ^G1577, greets ^G782 you. Erastus ^G2037, the city ^G4172 treasurer ^G3623 greets ^G782 you, and Quartus ^G2890, the brother ^G80. 24 [fn][The grace ^G5485 of our Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547 be with you all ^G3956. Amen ^G281.]

25 Now ^G1161 to Him who is able ^G1410 to strengthen ^G4741 you according ^G2596 to my gospel ^G2098 and the preaching ^G2782 of Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, according ^G2596 to the revelation ^G602 of the mystery ^G3466 which has been kept ^G4601 secret ^G4601 for long ^G5550 ages ^G5550 past, 26 but now ^G3568 is manifested ^G5319, and by the Scriptures ^G1124 of the prophets ^G4397, according ^G2596 to the commandment ^G2003 of the eternal ^G166 God ^G2316, has been made ^G1107 known ^G1107 to all ^G3956 the Gentiles ^G1484, leading to obedience ^G5218 of faith ^G4102; 27 to the only ^G3441 wise ^G4680 God ^G2316, through ^G1223 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, be the glory ^G1391 forever ^G165. Amen ^G281.
