Romans 16:19

Concluding Exhortations

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ: but their own bellies. And with sweet preachings and flattering words deceive the hearts of the innocents: ¹⁹ for your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good. And to be innocent as concerning evil. ²⁰ The God of peace tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
