Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.

In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my good friend Stachys.

To all those loved by God in Rome, called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

Also greet the church in their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, laborers in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.
