2 Corinthians 13:11

9 For we are glad ^awhen we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, ^bthat you may be made complete.

10 ^aTherefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the ^bauthority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

Greetings and Benediction

11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. ^aBe of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love ^band peace will be with you.

12 ^aGreet one another with a holy kiss.

13 All the saints greet you.

14 ^aThe grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and ^bthe communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
