Paul’s Commendation of Phoebe

1 I commend to you(A) our sister Phoebe, who is a servant(a) of the church in Cenchreae.(B) 2 So you should welcome her in the Lord(C) in a manner worthy of the saints and assist her in whatever matter she may require your help. For indeed she has been a benefactor of many—and of me also.
