Romans 16
1 And I commend to you Phoebe our sister, —being a minister [also] of the assembly which is in Cenchreae;
I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the congregation in Cenchrea,
2 In order that ye may give her welcome in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and stand by her in any matter wherein she may have need of you; for, she also, hath proved to be a defender of many, and of my own self.
so that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever matter she may need from you; for indeed she herself has been a helper of many, including my own self.

17 But I beseech you, brethren, to keep an eye upon them who are causing divisions and occasions of stumbling, aside from the teaching which, ye, have learned, —and be turning away from them;
Now I exhort you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine you have learned, and avoid them.
18 For, they who are such, unto our Lord Christ are not doing service, but unto their own belly, —and, through their smooth and flattering speech, deceive the hearts of the innocent.
Because such people do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
19 For, your obedience, unto all hath reached, —over you, therefore, I rejoice! But I wish you—to be wise, [indeed], as to that which is good, yet pure, as to that which is evil.
I rejoice over you because your obedience has become known to all, but I want you to be wise as to what is good, yet innocent as to what is evil.
