Romans 16:19 in Context — Romans 16
17 Y os ruego hermanos, que miréis los que causan disensiones y escándalos contra la doctrina que vosotros habéis aprendido; y apartaos de ellos.
18 Porque los tales no sirven al Señor nuestro Jesucristo, sino á sus vientres; y con suaves palabras y bendiciones engañan los corazones de los simples.
19 Porque vuestra obediencia ha venido á ser notoria á todos; así que me gozo de vosotros; mas quiero que seáis sabios en el bien, y simples en el mal.
20 Y el Dios de paz quebrantará presto á Satanás debajo de vuestros pies. La gracia del Señor nuestro Jesucristo [sea] con vosotros.
21 Os saludan Timoteo, mi coadjutor, y Lucio y Jasón y Sosipater, mis parientes.
