16. Greet each other with a holy kiss.All the churches of Christ greet you.
17. Brothers and sisters, I urge you to watch out for those people who create divisions and who make others fall away ⌊from the Christian faith⌋ by teaching doctrine that is not the same as you have learned. Stay away from them.
18. People like these are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive unsuspecting people.
19. Everyone has heard about your obedience and this makes me happy for you. I want you to do what is good and to avoid what is evil.
20. The God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. May the good will of our Lord Jesus be with you!
21. Timothy my coworker greets you; so do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, who are Jewish by birth like me.
22. I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, send you Christian greetings.
