2 Corinthians 13:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 It is for this reason that I am writing these things while I am still absent, so that, when I am present, I may not have to deal harshly with you, using the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
Farewell
11 Finally, brothers,[a] rejoice. Set things in order. Be encouraged. Agree with one another. Be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
