Watch out for divisions
Now I beg you, brothers, to keep an eye on those who cause divisions and put obstacles in the way, contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. Because men like that don't serve our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly. And by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the innocent. Your obedience is known to everyone, and I am glad for you. But I want you wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Now I beg you, brothers, mark the ones who cause divisions and offences against the teaching you've learned, and keep away from them. Because ones like that don't serve our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly. And by good words and fair speeches they take in the hearts of the simple. Because word of your obedience has gone out to all men. So I'm glad for you. But I want you to be wise about what's good and simple about evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
