²⁴ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. So be it.

¹³ And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

²⁰ Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.

¹⁴ I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

¹⁵ For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

¹⁶ For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?

¹⁴ Let all you do be done in love.

¹¹ Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.

¹⁵ And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less?

⁸ For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
