I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.
Now may the God of peace, Who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do His will, working among us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen!
Grace be with all of you!
