16  Tena to matou tuahine, a Pipi, te tukua atu na e ahau ki a koutou, he kaimahi ia na te hahi i Kenekerea:

Hei manuhiri ia ma koutou i roto i te Ariki, kia rite ki ta te hunga tapu tikanga, a kia awhina koutou i a ia ki nga mea e matea e ia: he tokomaha hoki ana i atawhai ai, ahau ano hoki.

Oha atu ki a Pirihira raua ko Akuira, ki oku hoa mahi i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,

Na raua nei hoki o raua na kaki i taku kia ora ai ahau: ehara i te mea ko ahau anake e whakawhetai ana ki a raua, engari ko nga hahi katoa hoki o nga tauiwi:

Oha atu ano ki te hahi i to raua whare. Oha atu ki a Epainetu, ki taku i aroha ai, ko ia hoki ta te Karaiti matamua o Ahia.

Oha atu ki a Meri, he nui tana mahi ki a matou.

Oha atu ki a Anaroniku raua ko Hunia, oku whanaunga, oku hoa herehere ano hoki, he ingoa nunui nei o raua i roto i nga apotoro, no mua nei i ahau to raua urunga ki a te Karaiti.

Oha atu ki a Amapiria, ki taku i aroha ai i roto i te Ariki.

Oha atu ki a Urupane, ki to matou hoa mahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ki a Takuha ano hoki, ki taku i aroha ai.

10 Oha atu ki a Apere, e paingia ana i roto i a te Karaiti. Oha atu ki a Aritopuru ma.

11 Oha atu ki a Heroriona, ki toku whanaunga. Oha atu ki a Nakihu ma, ki nga mea i roto i te Ariki.

12 Oha atu ki a Taraipine raua ko Taraipoha, e mahi nei i roto i te Ariki. Oha atu ki a Perahi, e arohaina nei, he nui nei tana mahi i roto i te Ariki.

13 Oha atu ki a Rupuha, i whiriwhiria i roto i te Ariki, ki tona whaea, ara ki to maua tahi.

14 Oha atu ki a Ahunikiritu, ratou ko Perekona, ko Herama, ko Pataropa, ko Herami, ki nga teina ano e noho ana i a ratou.

15 Oha atu ki a Piroroku raua ko huria, ki a Nireu raua ko tona tuahine, ki a Orimapa ratou ko te hunga tapu katoa e noho ana i a ratou.

16 Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi tapu ano. Tenei te oha atu nei nga hahi katoa a te Karaiti ki a koutou.

17 Na he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, tirohia iho te hunga e mahi ana i nga wehewehenga, i nga tutukitanga waewae, he mea puta ke i te whakaakoranga i whakaakona ai koutou: tahuri atu i a ratou.

18 Ko te hunga pera hoki kahore i te mahi ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, engari ki to ratou ake kopu: e tinihanga ana hoki ratou i nga ngakau o te hunga kinokore ki a ratou korero maeneene, ki a ratou kupu whakapaipai.

19 Kua paku hoki ki nga tangata katoa te rongo o to koutou ngohengohe. Koia ahau ka hari nei ki a koutou: e mea ana hoki ahau kia whai whakaaro koutou ki te pai, kia kuware ki te mea kino.

20 Na tera te Atua o te rangimarie e hohoro te kuru i a Hatana ki raro i o koutou waewae. Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

21 Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou a Timoti, toku hoa mahi a Ruhiu, a Hahona, a Hohipate, oku whanaunga.

22 Ko ahau tenei, ko Teretiu, ko te kaituhituhi o tenei pukapuka, te oha atu nei ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki.

23 Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou a Kaiu te kaiatawhai oku, o te hahi katoa. Tenei te oha atu nei a Eratu, kaitiaki o nga mea o te pa, raua ko te teina, ko Kuaratu.

24 Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti. Amine.

25 Na he kaha nei te Atua ki te whakau i a koutou, i runga i nga ritenga o taku rongopai, o te kauwhautanga hoki o Ihu Karaiti, o te whakakitenga mai ano o te mea ngaro, kihai nei i rangona no te timatanga ra ano o te ao,

26 A kua whakamaramatia mai inaianei e nga karaipiture a nga poropiti, he mea whakarite mai na te Atua ora tonu, a whakapuakina mai ana ki nga tauiwi katoa kia ngohengohe ai ratou ki ta te whakapono:

27 Waiho atu i te Atua, ko ia nei anake te Mea matau, te kororia i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, ake ake, Amine.

Personal Greetings

Greet Priscilla[c] and Aquila,(E) my co-workers(F) in Christ Jesus.(G) They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house.(H)

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(X) Keep away from them.(Y) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(Z) but their own appetites.(AA) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(AB) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(AC) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(AD)

20 The God of peace(AE) will soon crush(AF) Satan(AG) under your feet.

Amen.(AT)

16 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.

11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.

12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
