I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions
and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching

For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites.
By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

Everyone has heard about your obedience,
so I am full of joy over you; but I sant you to be wise about
what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

by the command of the eternal God,
so that all nations might believe and obey him -
