closing words

 At the very end of Paul's second letter to the followers of Jesus in Corinth, he made a few short, closing remarks.

I thought they were both appropriate for back then, as well as for today...

2 Corinthians 13

11 Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: 

Rejoice - be joyful.

Change your ways & grow to maturity. 

Encourage each other. 

Live in harmony and peace. 

Then the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Greet each other with a sacred kiss.
