17 Ndugu zangu, nawasihi mjihadhari na kujiepusha na wale watu waletao matengano na kuweka vikwazo mbele yenu dhidi ya mafundisho mliyojifunza.
Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learnt, and turn away from them.
18 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.
For those who are such don’t serve our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
20 Mungu wa amani atamponda Shetani chini ya miguu yenu upesi. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu iwe nanyi. Amen.
And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you.

I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.
23 Gayo, ambaye ni mwenyeji wangu na wa kanisa lote, anawasalimu. Erasto, mweka hazina wa mji huu, pamoja na Kwarto ndugu yetu pia wanawasalimu. [
Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
24 Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja nanyi nyote. Amen.]
The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you all! Amen.
25 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)
Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the proclaiming of Yeshua the Messiah, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages, (aiōnios g166)
26 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)
but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; (aiōnios g166)
