17 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to beware of those who are always talking about faults and tempting you all with things that are against what you’ve been taught. Turn away from them 18 because such people are not serving our master Messiah but rather, their own bellies, and they are deceiving innocent people with their smooth speech and ‘blessings’. 19 I’m excited because the story of your obedience has travelled far, but I’m wanting you all to remain wise about what’s good and innocent about evil, 20 then the God of peace will be quickly crushing Satan under your feet.
