6. But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is good, though we be as reprobates.
8. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9. By which we are glad that we are weak and ye are strong, and even so we pray for your perfection.
10. Therefore I write these things being absent lest being present I should treat you with more severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.
11. For the rest, brethren, that ye may have joy, be perfected, have consolation, be of one mind, having peace; and the God of peace and charity shall be with you.
12. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13. All the saints salute you.
14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the charity of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
