Romans 16:19

Concluding Exhortations

¹⁸ For such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. ¹⁹ For your obedience has reached to all. I rejoice therefore as it regards you; but I wish you to be wise as to that which is good, and simple as to evil. ²⁰ But the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
