Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and the endurance of Christ.

Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.
