16:17 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, 1 to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them! 16:18 For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds 2 of the naive.
3:1 Finally, my brothers and sisters, 4 rejoice in the Lord! To write this again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
