equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

²² I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.

²³ Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
