Romans 16:17-27
\nFinal Instructions and Greetings<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 04\/16\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in Romans 16:17-27.<\/span><\/p>\n

17 And brothers I exhort you to watch those making divisions and causes of stumbling contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

18 For such ones do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth speaking and flattering they deceive the hearts of those without guile. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

19 For your obedience reached to all; therefore, I rejoice over you. But I desire you to be truly wise as to good, but simple toward evil. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

21 Timothy, my fellowworker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

22 I, Tertius, the one writing the epistle, greet you in the Lord. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

23 Gaius, the host of all the assembly and me, greets you. Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother, greet you. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the proclaiming of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery having been kept unvoiced during eternal times, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

26 but now has been made plain, and by prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known for obedience of faith to all the nations; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

27 to the only wise God through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
