16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send you their greetings.
17 I urge you, my brothers and sisters: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them!
18 For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people.
19 Everyone has heard of your loyalty to the gospel, and for this reason I am happy about you. I want you to be wise about what is good, but innocent in what is evil.
20 And God, our source of peace, will soon crush Satan under your feet.The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow-worker, sends you his greetings; and so do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, fellow-Jews.
22 I, Tertius, the writer of this letter, send you Christian greetings.
