¹⁶ When you meet, kiss each other as Christian brothers and sisters. The people of all the Christian churches here say ‘hello’ to you.

False teachers

¹⁷ My Christian friends, I want to tell you something important. Be very careful about people who teach wrong things. They teach things that are different from God's true message that you learned. Those people cause you to quarrel with each other. They cause people to turn away from God. You must stay away from them. ¹⁸ People who are like that are not servants of our Lord Christ. Instead, they are doing the things which please themselves. They speak words that seem very nice, but they deceive people who easily accept a false message.
