016:010 Greetings to Apella, that veteran believer; and to the members
of the household of Aristobulus.
016:011 Greetings to my countryman, Herodion; and to the believing
members of the household of Narcissus.
016:012 Greetings to those Christian workers, Tryphaena and Tryphosa; also to dear Persis, who has laboured strenuously in the Lord's work.
016:013 Greetings to Rufus, who is one of the Lord's chosen people;
and to his mother, who has also been a mother to me.
016:014 Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas,
and to the brethren associated with them;
016:015 to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister and Olympas,
and to all God's people associated with them.
016:016 Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the Churches of Christ
send greetings to you.
016:017 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.
016:018 For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord,
but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible
words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds
of the simple.
016:019 Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.
