羅馬書第十六章第17—19節,保羅叮囑羅馬的弟兄們,要躲避那些製造分裂,叫弟兄跌倒和背乎福音之道的人。因為這樣的人不服事我們的主耶穌基督,隻服事自己的肚腹,他們用花言巧語誘惑那些無辜之人的心。保羅讚揚羅馬的弟兄們順服基督,這是眾人都曉得的。最後,保羅希望羅馬的弟兄們在善上是明智的,在惡上是不沾邊的。
羅16:17 弟兄們、那些離間你們、叫你們跌倒、背乎所學之道的人、我勸你們要留意躲避他們。
Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
羅16:18 因為這樣的人不服事我們的主基督、隻服事自己的肚腹.用花言巧語、誘惑那些老實人的心。
For those who are such don't serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
羅16:19 你們的順服、已經傳於眾人、所以我為你們歡喜.但我願意你們在善上聰明、在惡上愚拙。
For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
