Romans 16:17-20 - Concluding Exhortations

¹⁷ I exhort you, brothers, to observe those that cause dissensions and offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned, and avoid them; ¹⁸ for such serve not our anointed Lord, but themselves, And by kind and complimentary words deceive the minds of the simple.

¹⁹ For your obedience has come to all; I rejoice in you therefore, but I wish you to be wise for that which is good, and simple for evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace shall crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹³ Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong, ¹⁴ let all your [works] be in love.

¹⁵ And I exhort you, brothers, know the family of Stephanas, for it is a first fruit of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to serving the saints; ¹⁶ that you also be in subjection to such, and to every one that works and labors with us. ¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaiacus, for they supplied your lack, ¹⁸ and refreshed my spirit and yours. Know therefore such.
