Focused Passage

2 Corinthians 13:11-14

Final Warning, Self-Examination, Restoration, and Triune Blessing

Paul moves from final warning before his third visit, to Christ's power revealed through crucified weakness, to urgent self-examination, to prayer for Corinth's restoration, to authority used for building up, and finally to a closing call for joy, restoration, peace, holy fellowship, and triune blessing.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13 All the saints send you greetings.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
