1 But I commend our sister Phoebe to you, being a servant of the assembly in Cenchrea, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

4 who laid down their neck for my soul, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
