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.
