Final Instructions

¹⁷I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep an eye on those who create dissensions and hindrances, in opposition to the teaching that you have learned; avoid them.^* ¹⁸For such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites,^x and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded.^* ¹⁹For your obedience is known to all; therefore, I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and guileless in what is evil.^* ²⁰The God of peace will shortly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.^y^*

²¹Timothy, my coworker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Israelites.^*

²²I Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord.^z
