2 Corinthians 13:11–14
11Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13All the saints salute you.
14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Stay with the movement.
Paul's final words join maturity, comfort, unity, peace, holy affection, and the blessing of the triune God. The grace of Christ, love of God, and fellowship of the Spirit hold the church. Paul shows that gospel ministry takes the shape of the crucified and risen Christ: truthful, costly, humble, and sustained by grace.
Repair what remains unfinished and pursue peace without abandoning truth. This is not a demand to manufacture strength. It is an invitation to receive God's sufficiency and let grace become visible in ordinary faithfulness.
