Avoid Divisions
(Titus 3:9–11)
17NowG1161 I urgeG3870 youG4771, brothersG80, to watch out forG4648 those whoG3588 createG4160 divisionsG1370 andG2532 obstaclesG4625 that are contrary toG3844 theG3588 teachingG1322 youG4771 have learnedG3129. Turn awayG1578 fromG575 themG846. 18ForG1063 such peopleG5108 are notG3756 servingG1398 ourG1473 LordG2962 ChristG5547, butG235 theirG1438 own appetitesG2836. ByG1223 smooth talkG5542 andG2532 flatteryG2129 they deceiveG1818 theG3588 heartsG2588 of theG3588 naiveG172.
EveryoneG1519G3956 has heard about yourG4771 obedienceG5218, soG3767 I rejoiceG5463 overG1909 youG4771. ButG1161 I wantG2309 youG4771 to beG1510 wiseG4680 aboutG1519 whatG3588 is goodG18 andG1161 innocentG185 aboutG1519 whatG3588 is evilG2556.
20TheG3588 GodG2316 of peaceG1515 will soon crushG1161G1722G5034G4937 SatanG4567 underG5259 yourG4771 feetG4228. TheG3588 graceG5485 of ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG55475 be withG3326 youG4771.
