away from them. (18)For such are not
servants to our Lord Jesus Christ, but to their own belly; and by
smooth speeches and flattering commendations deceive the hearts of the
guileless. (19)For your obedience is gone forth in report to all men. I
rejoice therefore on your account: but I wish you to be wise indeed
unto good, but harmless respecting evil. (20)Now the God of peace shall
bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you. Amen.

(21)There salute you Timothy, my fellow-labourer, and Lucius, and
Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen. (22)I Tertius, who have written this
epistle, salute you in the Lord. (23)Gaius mine host, and of the whole
church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you,
and Quartus a brother.

(24)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. _Amen_.

(25)Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and
the preaching of Jesus Christ, agreeable to the revelation of the
mystery; which was concealed from all former ages, (26)but is now made
manifest, and by the prophetical scriptures, according to the
commandment of the eternal God, notified to all the Gentiles to bring
them to the obedience of faith: (27)to the only wise God, through Jesus
Christ, be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

and our's: (3)grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and
our Lord Jesus Christ. (4)I give thanks to my God always on your
behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus;
(5)that in every thing ye have been enriched by him, in all utterance,
and all knowledge; (6)thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed
among you: (7)so that ye have not been deficient in any gift; waiting
for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: (8)who shall confirm you
to the end blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9)Faithful
is God, by whom ye have been called into communion with his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord.

(10)Now I conjure you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye
