23. We pray that God himself, the God of peace, will make you pure—belonging only to him. We pray that your whole self—spirit, soul, and body—will be kept safe and be blameless when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
24. The one who chose you will do that for you. You can trust him.
25. Brothers and sisters, please pray for us.
26. Give all the brothers and sisters the special greeting of God’s people.
27. I tell you by the authority of the Lord to read this letter to all the believers there.
28. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
