1 Peter 5:13

JohnBabylon

11 To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.

12 Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.

The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.

14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
