King James Power New Testament New International Version
1. I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 

2. That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

1. And I am introducing our sister Phoebe to you, since she is also a minister of the congregation in Cenchrea, 2. so that you would welcome her in  the Lord as befitting the saints, and you would  stand by her in whatever matter she would have need of you: for she has also become a patroness of many, even of me.

(v.2) Literally, a woman set over others

1. I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servanta of the church in Cenchreae.  2. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me.
