and I ask you to give her a Christian welcome – one worthy of Christ’s people – and to aid her in any matter in which she may need your assistance. She has proved herself a staunch friend and protector and to many others.

who risked their own lives to save mine. It is not I alone who thank them, but all the churches among the Gentiles thank them also.

I beg you, friends, to be on your guard against people who, by disregarding the teaching which you received, cause divisions and create difficulties; dissociate yourselves from them.
18 Nakima iri ndi bi yi ba na bi gran Bachi Yesu sei ni mi ne ba. Ni roh yun ba, basi gyuru isuro wa ana lahtre na.
For such persons are not serving Christ, our Master, but are slaves to their own appetites; and, by their smooth words and flattery, they deceive simple-minded people.
