Christ Transforms Our lives Towards Faithful Brothers And Heretics (Romans 16)

Text: Romans 16

Theme: The gospel reveals the righteousness of God...

5. In Transformation (12-16)
D) Towards Faithful Brothers (16:1-16)
E) Towards those who cause dissension (16:17-23)

Paul showed his gratitude and respect towards those who helped him with
gospel work, asking Roman believers to greet them (means to "draw near",
"embrace", "kiss": 1-16). He also warned them to keep an eye on and
avoid false teachers who cause divisions, are slaves of their own
appetites, and who deceive with smooth and flattering speech (17-20).
In conclusion, he sent greetings from the brethren who were with him
(21-23), and praised the God and Savior whose gospel he proclaimed (24-27).
