Paul urges us to take a strong line against those who cause dissension and offence. We might object that this is too authoritarian, but disruptive people cause a lot of damage. We are not avoid people who teach false doctrine. They are not just offering an alternative view, but are going directly against the word of God. We are to be innocent as doves, but also as shrewd as snakes (Matthew 10:16).
In our walk with Christ, and our battle in the world, God is able to strengthen us. It doesn't matter what we are facing right now, the Lord is able to strengthen us. The end result is that Satan will be crushed and gospel will spread throughout the world bringing people from every nation to faith in Christ.
