Giovanni Diodati 1649 (Italian) GDB
New International Version NIV
17 Or io vi esorto, fratelli, che prendiate guardia a coloro che commettono le dissensioni, e gli scandali, contro alla dottrina, la quale avete imparata; e che vi ritiriate da essi.
17
I urge you, brothers and sisters, 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.
18 Perciocchè tali non servono al nostro Signor Gesù Cristo, ma al proprio ventre; e con dolce e lusinghevol parlare, seducono i cuori de’ semplici.
18
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.
19 Poichè la vostra ubbidienza è divolgata fra tutti; laonde io mi rallegro per cagion vostra; or io desidero che siate savi al bene; e semplici al male.
19
Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
20 Or l’Iddio della pace triterà tosto Satana sotto a’ vostri piedi. La grazia del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo sia con voi. Amen.
20
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
