Napenda kumtambulisha kwenu dada yetu Foibe, mtumishi katika kanisa la Kenkrea.

Naomba mpokeeni katika Bwana ipasavyo watakatifu na kumpa msaada wowote atakaohitaji kutoka kwenu, kwa maana yeye amekuwa msaada kwa watu wengi, mimi nikiwa miongoni mwao.
3 Greete Priscilla, and Aquila my fellowe helpers in Christ Iesus,
Wasalimuni Prisila na Akila, watumishi wenzangu katika Kristo Yesu.
4 (Which haue for my life laide downe their owne necke. Vnto whom not I onely giue thankes, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles.)
Wao walihatarisha maisha yao kwa ajili yangu; wala si mimi tu ninayewashukuru bali pia makanisa yote ya watu wa Mataifa.
5 Likewise greete the Church that is in their house. Salute my beloued Epenetus, which is the first fruites of Achaia in Christ.
Lisalimuni pia kanisa linalokutana nyumbani mwao. Msalimuni rafiki yangu mpendwa Epaineto, aliyekuwa mtu wa kwanza kumwamini Kristo huko Asia.

Wasalimuni Androniko na Yunia, jamaa zangu ambao wamekuwa gerezani pamoja nami. Wao ni maarufu miongoni mwa mitume, nao walikuwa katika Kristo kabla yangu.
8 Greete Amplias my beloued in the Lord.
Msalimuni Ampliato, yeye nimpendaye katika Bwana.

17 Now I beseech you brethren, marke them diligently which cause diuision and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye haue learned, and auoide them.
Ndugu zangu, nawasihi mjihadhari na kujiepusha na wale watu waletao matengano na kuweka vikwazo mbele yenu dhidi ya mafundisho mliyojifunza.
18 For they that are such, serue not the Lord Iesus Christ, but their owne bellies, and with faire speach and flattering deceiue the heartes of the simple.
Kwa maana watu kama hao hawamtumikii Bwana Kristo, bali wanatumikia tamaa zao wenyewe. Kwa kutumia maneno laini na ya kubembeleza, hupotosha mioyo ya watu wajinga.
19 For your obedience is come abroade among all: I am glad therefore of you: but yet I woulde haue you wise vnto that which is good, and simple concerning euill.
Kila mtu amesikia juu ya utii wenu, nami nimejawa na furaha tele kwa ajili yenu. Lakini nataka mwe na hekima katika mambo mema na bila hatia katika mambo maovu.
20 The God of peace shall treade Satan vnder your feete shortly. The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you.
Mungu wa amani atamponda Shetani chini ya miguu yenu upesi. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu iwe nanyi. Amen.

24 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja nanyi nyote. Amen.]
25 To him nowe that is of power to establish you according to my Gospel, and preaching of Iesus Christ, by the reuelation of the mysterie, which was kept secrete since the worlde began: (aiōnios g166)
Sasa atukuzwe yeye awezaye kuwafanya ninyi imara kwa Injili yangu na kuhubiriwa kwa Yesu Kristo, kutokana na kufunuliwa siri zilizofichika tangu zamani za kale. (aiōnios g166)
26 (But nowe is opened, and published among all nations by the Scriptures of the Prophetes, at the commandement of the euerlasting God for the obedience of faith) (aiōnios g166)
Lakini sasa siri hiyo imefunuliwa na kujulikana kupitia maandiko ya kinabii kutokana na amri ya Mungu wa milele, ili mataifa yote yaweze kumwamini na kumtii (aiōnios g166)
