1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant[1] of the church at Cenchreae, (徒18:18)2that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well.

Final Instructions and Greetings
17I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. (提前1:3; 提前6:3; 约二1:10)18For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[6] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. (腓3:19; 西2:4; 提后3:4; 多1:12; 彼后2:3)19For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. (耶4:22; 太10:16; 羅1:8)20The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. (创3:15; 路10:17; 羅15:33; 林前16:23; 启12:11)21Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen. (徒16:1)22I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord. (林前16:21)23Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.[7] (徒19:29; 徒20:4; 林前1:14; 约三1:1)
