Romans 16:18

English Standard Version

18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[1] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. (Php 3:19; Col 2:4; 2Ti 3:4; Tit 1:12; 2Pe 2:3) 

New International Version

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. 

New International Reader’s Version

18 People like that are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving only themselves. With smooth talk and with words they don’t mean they fool people who don’t know any better. 

King James Version

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.
