　　Romans 16:17-18 In-Context

　　15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord's people who are with them.

　　16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send greetings.

　　17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

　　18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

　　19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

　　20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
