13Greet Rufus, that outstanding Christian, and his mother, who has been a mother to me too. 14Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers and sisters who are with them. Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all God’s people who are with them. 16Greet each other with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. 17Brothers and sisters, I urge you to watch out for those people who create divisions and who make others fall away ⌞from the Christian faith⌟ by teaching doctrine that is not the same as you have learned. Stay away from them.
