Romans 16:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Salute one another with an (A)holy [a]kiss. The Churches of Christ salute you.
17 ¶ [b]Now I beseech you brethren, [c]mark them diligently which cause division and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and (B)avoid them.
18 For they that are such, serve not the Lord Jesus Christ but their own bellies, and with [d]fair speech and flattering deceive the hearts of the simple.

- Romans 16:16 He calleth that an holy kiss, which proceedeth from an heart that is full of that holy love: now this is to be referred to the manner used in those days.
- Romans 16:17 As by namely describing them, which were worthy of commendation, he sufficiently declared when they ought to hear and follow, so doth he now point out unto them whom they ought to take heed of, yet he nameth them not, for that it was not needful.
- Romans 16:17 Warily and diligently, as though you should scout out for your enemies in a watch tower.
- Romans 16:18 The word which he useth, signifieth a promising which performeth nothing, and if thou hearest any such, thou mayest assure thyself that he that promiseth thee is more careful of thy matters, than of his own.
