For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.
19 Kubanga amawulire ag’okuwulira kwammwe gaabuna mu bantu bonna, kyenvudde mbasanyukira. Naye njagala mubenga bagezi mu kukola obulungi, era abalongoofu abeewala ekibi.
Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.
20 Kaakano Katonda ow’emirembe ajja kubetentera Setaani wansi w’ebigere byammwe, mangu. Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu kibeerenga nammwe.
And before long, God the giver of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
