New International Version
15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord’s people(A) who are with them.(B)
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(C)
All the churches of Christ send greetings.
17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(D) Keep away from them.(E) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(F) but their own appetites.(G) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(H) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(I) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(J)
20 The God of peace(K) will soon crush(L) Satan(M) under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(N)
21 Timothy,(O) my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius,(P) Jason(Q) and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.(R)
22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.

15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all (A)the [a]saints who are with them. 16 (B)Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
17 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and [b]hindrances (C)contrary to the teaching which you learned, and (D)turn away from them. 18 For such people are (E)slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of (F)their own [c]appetites; and by their (G)smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19 For the report of your obedience (H)has reached everyone; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but (I)I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil. 20 (J)The God of peace will soon crush (K)Satan under your feet.
(L)The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21 (M)Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, and so do (N)Lucius, (O)Jason, and (P)Sosipater, my (Q)kinsmen.

Avoid Divisive Persons
17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those (B)who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and (C)avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord [b]Jesus Christ, but (D)their own belly, and (E)by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For (F)your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be (G)wise in what is good, and [c]simple concerning evil. 20 And (H)the God of peace (I)will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
(J)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

New International Version
Romans 7:13-15
New International Version
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(A) to bring about my death,(B) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(C) sold(D) as a slave to sin.(E) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(F)
Romans 7:13-15
New American Standard Bible
Romans 7:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? [a](A)Far from it! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by bringing about my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
The Conflict of Serving Two Masters
14 For we know that the Law is (B)spiritual, but I am (C)fleshly, (D)sold [b](E)into bondage to sin. 15 For (F)I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing (G)what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate.

Law Cannot Save from Sin
13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, (A)sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. (B)For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

Galatians 4:6-8
New International Version
6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son(A) into our hearts,(B) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[a] Father.”(C) 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.(D)
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God,(E) you were slaves(F) to those who by nature are not gods.(G)
