Greetings, too, to the Church that meets at their house. Greetings to my dear Epaenetus, who was the earliest convert to Christ in the province of Asia; to Mary who has laboured strenuously among you; and to Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen, who once shared my imprisonment. They are of note among the Apostles, and are Christians of longer standing than myself. read more.
Greetings to Ampliatus, dear to me in the Lord; to Urban, our fellow labourer in Christ, and to my dear Stachys. Greetings to Apella, that veteran believer; and to the members of the household of Aristobulus. Greetings to my countryman, Herodion; and to the believing members of the household of Narcissus. Greetings to those Christian workers, Tryphaena and Tryphosa; also to dear Persis, who has laboured strenuously in the Lord's work. Greetings to Rufus, who is one of the Lord's chosen people; and to his mother, who has also been a mother to me. Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and to the brethren associated with them; to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister and Olympas, and to all God's people associated with them. Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the Churches of Christ send greetings to you. But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.

Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise. And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner; and the greater part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, now speak of God's Message without fear, more boldly than ever. read more.
Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will. These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good News; while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment. What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached--either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
