Romans 16:16-18

J.B. Phillips New Testament

¹⁶ Give each other a hearty handshake all round for my sake. The greetings of all the churches I am in touch with come to you with this letter.

A final warning

^17-18 And now I implore you, my brother, to keep a watchful eye on those who cause trouble and make difficulties among you, in plain opposition to the teaching you have been given, and steer clear of them. Such men do not really serve our Lord Jesus Christ at all but are utterly self-centred. Yet with their plausible and attractive arguments they deceive those who are too simple-hearted to see through them.
