17 I
urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause
divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the
teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 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. 19 Everyone has heard
about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be
wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
- Romans 16: 17-19
Paul is warning the church to watch out for those people who cause divisions and who teach contrary to the Word. Such people deceive many especially the naive. Such people have other agenda and wrong motives. Paul urges the church to be wise about what is good and be innocent about what is evil.
