Romans 16:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ Such people are not serving our Lord Christ but are ·only doing what pleases themselves [serving their own appetites/^Lbellies]. They use ·fancy [smooth] talk and ·fine words [flattery] to ·fool [deceive] the ·minds of those who do not know about evil [^Lhearts of the innocent/naive]. ¹⁹ All the believers have heard ·that you obey [about your obedience/faithfulness], so I ·am very happy [rejoice] because of you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

²⁰ The God ·who brings [^Lof] peace will soon ·defeat Satan and give you power over him [crush Satan under your feet; Gen. 3:15].

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
