Farewell

‘May the LORD bless you and keep you; …

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established;

…through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.

For no word from God will ever fail.”

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
