But, brothers, I wrote to you boldly, as reminding you in part, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, ministering the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

in power of miracles and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

And I am sure that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

But I exhort you, brothers, for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

that I may be delivered from those disbelieving in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted by the saints;

so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.

that you receive her in the Lord, as becomes saints, and that you may assist her in whatever business she has need of you. For she has been a helper of many, and of myself also.

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Christ.
