Romans 16:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
The Churches Here Greet You
All the churches[a] of Christ greet you.
Watch Out For False Teachers
17 Now I urge you, brothers, to be watching-out-for the ones producing the dissensions and the causes-of-falling contrary to the teaching which you learned, and be turning-away from them. 18 For such ones are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own stomach. And by smooth-talk and flattery[b] they deceive the hearts of the guileless[c] ones.
