1 Ndinorumbidza kwamuri Febhe hanzvadzi yedu, anova murandakadzi wekereke iri paKenikireya;
I commend to your care our Sister, Phoebe, who helps in the work of the Church at Cenchreae;
2 kuti mumugamuchire muna Ishe sezvinofanira vatsvene, uye kuti mumubatsire panhau ipi neipi yaangashaiwa kwamuri; nokuti iyewo wakava mubatsiri wevazhinji, newangu ndomene.
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 to me and to many others.

4 Ivo nekuda kweupenyu hwangu vakaradzika mutsipa wavo pachavo, vandisingavongi ini ndega, asi nemakereke ese evahedheni;
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.
5 kwazisaiwo kereke iri paimba yavo. Kwazisai Epaeneto mudikanwi wangu, anova chibereko chekutanga cheAkaya muna Kristu.

I urge you, Brothers, 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 Nokuti vakadaro havashandiri Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu, asi dumbu ravo; uye neshoko rakanaka nekutaura kwakanaka vanonyengera moyo yevasina mhosva.
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.
19 Nokuti kuteerera kwenyu kwakasvika kune vese. Naizvozvo ndinofara pamusoro penyu; asi ndinoda kuti muve vakachenjera kune chakanaka, asi vakachena kune chakaipa.
Every one has heard of your ready obedience. It is true that I am very happy about you, but I want you to be well versed in all that is good, and innocent of all that is bad.
