Romans 16:17-27

17Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and 1hindrances 2contrary to the teaching which you learned, and 3turn away from them. 18For such people are 4slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of 5their own 6appetites; and by their 7smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19For the report of your obedience 8has reached everyone; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but 9I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil. 2010The God of peace will soon crush 11Satan under your feet.

12The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

2113Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, and so do 14Lucius, 15Jason, and 16Sosipater, my 17kinsmen.

22I, Tertius, who have 18written this letter, greet you in the Lord.

2319Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. 20Erastus, the city treasurer, greets you, and Quartus, the brother.21

2522Now to Him who is able to establish you 23according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of 24the mystery which has been kept secret for 25long ages past, 26but now has been disclosed, and through 26the Scriptures of the prophets, in accordance with the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to 27obedience of faith; 27to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, 28be the glory forever. Amen.
