13 ²⁰ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 13 ²¹ make you perfect in all goodness so that you may do his will; and may he make of us what he would have us be through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever! Amen.

13 ²² I beg you, brothers, bear with this exhortation; for it is after all a short letter. 13 ²³ I have news for you: our friend Timothy has been released; and if he comes in time he will be with me when I see you. 13 ²⁴ Greet all your leaders and all God's people. Greetings to you from our Italian friends. 13 ²⁵ God's grace be with you all!
