Howbeit, we charge you, brethren, - that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother - who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace through everything in every way. The Lord is with all of you.

The salutation of Paul by my hand, which is a mark in every letter I write this way.
