Final Instructions and Greetings

¹⁷ I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles ^(A)contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; ^(B)avoid them. ¹⁸ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but ^(C)their own appetites,^[a] and ^(D)by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. ¹⁹ For ^(E)your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you ^(F)to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. ^20 (G)The God of peace ^(H)will soon crush Satan under your feet. ^(I)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
