(Romans 16:19)
"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.."

In the verse from Romans 16, the Apostle Paul encourages us to maintain a balance between wisdom and innocence in our Christian walk. He commends the Romans for their obedience to the faith but urges them to remain discerning about what is good and pure, while avoiding what is evil.

In Romans 16, Paul finishes his letter to the Romans by talking about many different people in the church. He says nice things about them and thanks them for helping with church work. This part of the Bible shows us how important it is to work together and be thankful in God's family.

1. Everyone Counts: In this chapter, Paul talks about lots of different kinds of people in the church - men, women, Jews, non-Jews, leaders, and helpers. This shows that the church is like a big team, and every person on the team is important. Nobody's job is unimportant.
