Finally brothers, farewell. Be thoroughly prepared, be encouraged, think the same way, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.

And I most gladly will spend, and will be spent for your souls. Even though more earnestly loving you, the worse I am loved.

The overseer therefore must be blameless, the husband of one wife, without wine, serious minded, disciplined, loving strangers, able to teach,

And finally, all be like-minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, compassionate, friendly,

stranger-loving toward each other without complaints.

By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.

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

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who make peace.

And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Think not that I came to spread peace on the earth. I came not to spread peace, but a sword.

And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him, and if not, it will return to you.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly.
