Romans 16:17-20 - Concluding Exhortations

¹⁷ But I exhort your brethren, to mark those who are causing divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and avoid them. ¹⁸ For such men are not servants of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁹ For your obedience hath become known to all. Over you, then, I rejoice; but I would have you wise as to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace will soon beat down Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹³ Watch, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong; ¹⁴ let all your doings be in love.

¹⁵ And I exhort you, brethren,ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy, ¹⁶ that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth. ¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied; ¹⁸ for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Pay regard then to those that are such.
