Scripture:  Romans 16:17-27  (NIV)

I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. 

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. 
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 

Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my relatives. 

I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord. 

Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings. 
Erastus, who is the city's director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. 

Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

comment:  seems like some trick question/statements to ole dummy.

any y'all ever have a boss that would say, "soon."  what they really meant was soooooooonnn.

but the trick looks innocent; "under your feet."  and then they have the clinker.  the grace of our lord jesus has to be with us, for that to occur.  practice, repetition, practice, repetition, practice, repetition,....

Prayer:  heavenly father, we praise you for your timely grace, as it fits into your plan, and purpose, in his hands.
