Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your hearts (6:22)

Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (6:23)

Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen (6:24)
