Romans 16:17-20 - Concluding Exhortations

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark those who cause divisions and revolts against the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them. ¹⁸ for such as these serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own selfishness; and by flourish and flattery, deceive the open-hearted simple.

¹⁹ your christianity is very well known in the world. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you as expert in that which is good, as unpractis'd in what is evil. ²⁰ the God of peace will soon bruise Satan under your feet. the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

¹³ Be upon the watch, stand firm in the faith, behave your selves like men of fortitude: ¹⁴ let all your transactions flow from social affections.

¹⁵ You know brethren, that the family of Stephanas were the first converts of Achaia, and have made it their business to be serviceable to christian converts: to such, ¹⁶ I beseech you be subservient, and to every one that helpeth us with his labours. ¹⁷ I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus are come: for what was wanting on your side, they have supplied. ¹⁸ for they have quieted my mind as well as yours: therefore to such have a regard.
