17 But I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and stumblings, contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and depart from them. 18 For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach; and through fair speeches and eulogies deceive the hearts of the innocent. 19 For your obedience has come abroad unto all men: therefore I rejoice over you, and wish you to be wise in that which is good, and uncompromising towards that which is evil. 20 The God of peace will speedily crush Satan beneath your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 21 Timothy my fellow-laborer salutes you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my consanguinity, salute you. 22 I Tertius, the one writing the epistle, salute you in the Lord. 23 Gaius my host, and that of the whole church salutes you. Erastus the steward of the city, and brother Quartus, salute you. 25 To Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery having been hidden during the eternal times, 26 but having now indeed been made manifest, through the prophetical scriptures, and having been made known to all the Gentiles, according to the commandment of the eternal God, unto the obedience of faith; 27 to God who alone is wise, through Jesus Christ, to the glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen. Romans 16:17-27, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
