Avoid Divisive Persons

17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those awho cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and bavoid them.  
18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord1 Jesus Christ, but atheir own belly, and bby smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.  
19 For ayour obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be bwise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

Romans 16:17

Mark (skopeite). Keep an eye on so as to avoid. Skopov is the goal, skopew means keeping your eye on the goal.

Divisions (dixostasiav). Old word for "standings apart," cleavages. In N.T. only here and Galatians 5:20.

Those which are causing (tous—poiountav). This articular participle clause has within it not only the objects of the participle but the relative clause hn umeiv emaqete (which you learned), a thoroughly Greek idiom.
