17. Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
18. For 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.
19. For 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.
20. And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21. Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
22. I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23. Caius, my host, and the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.
24. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
25. Now 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;
27. To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
