Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and ^(F1)hindrances ^(C1)contrary to the teaching which you learned, and ^(C2)turn away from them.

For such people are ^(C1)slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of ^(C2)their own ^(F1)appetites; and by their ^(C3)smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

For the report of your obedience ^(C1)has reached everyone; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but ^(C2)I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil.

^(C1)The God of peace will soon crush ^(C2)Satan under your feet. ^(C3)The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
