Gal 1.8-9; 2 Thess 3.6,14; 2 Jn 10. I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them. 18For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,#16.18 Greek their own belly (Phil 3.19) and by fair and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded. 19#Rom 1.8; 1 Cor 14.20. For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you wise as to what is good and guileless as to what is evil; 20#1 Cor 16.23; 2 Cor 13.14; Gal 6.18; Phil 4.23; 1 Thess 5.28; 2 Thess 3.18; Rev 22.21. then the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.#16.20 Other ancient authorities omit this sentence

25Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages 26but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Romans 16
16
1AND I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:
2That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.
3Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,
4(Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)
5And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ.
6Salute Mary, who hath laboured much among you.
7Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord.
9Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus, and Stachys, my beloved.
10Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
11Salute them that are of Aristobulus' household. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus' household, who are in the Lord.
12Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.
13Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.
15Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are with them.
16Salute one another with an holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.
17Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
18For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.
19For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.
20And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23Caius, my host, and the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.
24The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
25Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,
26(Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;
27To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
