For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

God, teaches God’s kids truth, about his love for all first. It is done by Son for new life in God’s spirit and truth. Everyone comes to see its truth, God did it, being under Law to do it is over. Son completed it< fulfilled it done once for everyone. Hebrews 10:10, to choose to believe God, in Son Jesus he took away all sin on that cross once for everyone ever born of flesh and blood. That got done in his willing crucifixion. Is risen, where new life is given period.
‘everyone has their day of epiphany in seeing consciously what got done.

just as any tree is always identified by it’s fruit, so is every person. Just observe, and see the fruit, if there is any fruit.

and might hear, go away, I do not know you. What? That pastor says< but I have done.
then hears you work iniquity, you do not glory in your need(s) you use people for your own self gain. But many have come to believe you through me have they not He/she says?
God then replies, yet your motive has been the wrong motive, and so now you pay< knowing the truth and not appreciating it.
‘there will be the gnashing of teeth happening one day. As their will be not one person with excuse that will ever be valid

Which God and each person personally know between God and them, ,and will be accountable for Themselves. No excuse. We are all first born with the truth of what is truly good and what is evil. We all know, Thank you

You as well. I only see to trust God Father in risen Son, who I do not see physically as they did in that day as said in 2 Cor 5:16
once we knew Christ in the flesh, today no more

This comes from where?

Why would you consider yourself to be naive? Have you been deceived?

The verse i’m quoting is Romans 16:18. This passage is a warning from the Apostle Paul about individuals who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the teaching that believers have learned. Paul is cautioning the Roman Christians to be aware of those who do not genuinely serve Christ but instead serve their own desires.

These individuals use smooth talk and flattery to deceive unsuspecting people. The warning is to be discerning and to hold fast to the truth of the Gospel, which centers on Jesus Christ and His finished work. Paul emphasizes the importance of being wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil (Romans 16:19).

In the broader context of the New Testament, believers are encouraged to rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment and to remain grounded in the truth of the Gospel (John 16:13; 1 John 4:1). This reliance on the Spirit helps Christians to recognize and resist teachings or influences that are contrary to the message of grace and truth found in Christ.
