I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.
24
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
