romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

romans 16:18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

18. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ--"our Lord Christ" appears to be the true reading.
but their own belly--not in the grosset sense, but as "living for low ends of their own" (compare Php 3:19).
and by good words and fair speeches deceive the simple--the unwary, the unsuspecting. (See Pr 14:15).

romans 16:18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
