Romans 16:19 in Context — Romans 16
17 Je vous exhorte, frères, à prendre garde à ceux qui causent des divisions et des scandales, au préjudice de l’enseignement que vous avez reçu. Éloignez-vous d’eux.
18 Car de tels hommes ne servent point Christ notre Seigneur, mais leur propre ventre; et, par des paroles douces et flatteuses, ils séduisent les cœurs des simples.
19 Pour vous, votre obéissance est connue de tous; je me réjouis donc à votre sujet, et je désire que vous soyez sages en ce qui concerne le bien et purs en ce qui concerne le mal.
20 Le Dieu de paix écrasera bientôt Satan sous vos pieds. Que la grâce de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ soit avec vous!
21 Timothée, mon compagnon d’œuvre, vous salue, ainsi que Lucius, Jason et Sosipater, mes parents.
