Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow captives, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

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

Greet Herodion, my relative. Greet those from the [household] of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

Now Paul still remained there a good while, then bid farewell to the brothers, and sailed away for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.

When we had sighted Cyprus, and had left it behind [on the] left, we sailed to Syria, and put in to harbor in Tyre, for the ship was unloading its cargo.

Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
