Romans 16:17-20

¹⁷My fellow believers, I exhort you that you beware of those people who are causing divisions among you and who cause people to turn away from God MTY because they teach things that are contrary to the message about Christ that you have learned (OR, that others taught you). Keep away from such people!

¹⁸They do not serve our Lord Christ! On the contrary, they only want to satisfy their own desires MTY! Also, by all the eloquent things that they say DOU they deceive those people who do not realize that their teaching is false.

¹⁹Believers everywhere know that you have paid attention to the good message about Christ, with the result that I rejoice about you. But I also want you to be wise, with the result that you do what is good. I also want you to avoid doing what is evil.

²⁰If you avoid people who teach what is false, what will soon happen MET will be as though God, who causes us to be peaceful, will be crushing Satan under your feet! I pray that our Lord Jesus will continue to act kindly towards you.
