3 Ref Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,

4 Ref who for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:

26 Ref but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known unto all the nations unto obedience of faith:

27 Ref to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.
