Romans 16:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Final Instructions

¹⁷ I urge you, brothers and sisters,^[a] to keep an eye on those who cause dissensions and offenses, in opposition to the teaching that you have learned; avoid them. ¹⁸ For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,^[b] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded. ¹⁹ For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I want you to be wise in what is good and guileless in what is evil.
