1 Corinthians 16:22
20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
