Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of those who mutilate the flesh!

So welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,

May glory be given to God our Father forever and ever. Amen.

The whole imperial guard and everyone else knows that I am in prison for the sake of Christ,

Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.

and most of the brothers and sisters, having confidence in the Lord because of my imprisonment, now more than ever dare to speak the word fearlessly.

For many live, about whom I have often told you, and now, with tears, I tell you that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
