Now I exhort you, brethren, that you watch those who cause dissensions and scandals contrary to the doctrine that you have learned, and avoid them.

For such do not serve Christ our Lord but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattery deceive the hearts of the simple.

For your submission to the faith has been published everywhere. I rejoice therefore over you. Yet I would have you wise as to what is good, and guileless as to what is evil.

But the God of peace will speedily crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Greetings from Corinth

Timothy, my fellow-laborer, greets you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

I, Tertius, who have written this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

Gaius, my host, and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and Quartus, our brother, greet you.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, amen. Doxology

Now to him who is able to strengthen you in accordance with my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept in silence from eternal ages,

which is manifest now through the writings of the prophets according to the precept of the eternal God, and made known to all the Gentiles to bring about obedience to faith---

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be honor forever and ever. Amen.
