(Lesson 4765) (02-20-25) Romans 16:17-20
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.”
In today’s quote, Paul warned believers to watch out for those who cause divisions and teach contrary to sound doctrine, urging them to avoid such individuals. He explained that these people serve their own interests rather than Christ and deceive the weak with smooth words. (Something that is very successfully exercised today.) Paul commended the obedience of the Roman believers and encouraged them to remain wise in what is good and innocent concerning evil. He assured them that God would soon crush Satan under their feet and closed with a blessing of grace from the Lord Jesus Christ. ~
