17 aObey those who1 rule over you, and be submissive, for bthey watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Prayer Requested
18 aPray for us; for we are confident that we have ba good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.
19 But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Benediction, Final Exhortation, Farewell
20 Now may athe God of peace bwho brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, cthat great Shepherd of the sheep, dthrough the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 make you1 complete in every good work to do His will, aworking in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.
24 Greet all those who1 rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
