2 Thessalonians 3:16
14 Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
17 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
