Final Instructions and Greetings

17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles ^acontrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; ^bavoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but ^ctheir own appetites, ^{▼▼Greek their own belly} and ^eby smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13

9 I wrote to you in my letter ^lnot to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 ^mnot at all meaning ⁿthe sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, ^osince then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone ^pwho bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging ^qoutsiders? ^rIs it not those inside the church ^{▼▼Greek those inside} whom you are to judge? 13 God judges ^{▼▼Or will judge} those outside. ^u“Purge the evil person from among you.”
