watch over your souls as those who will have to give account;
that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation.
For that would be of no advantage to you.
013:018 Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear
consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.
013:019 I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more
speedily restored to you.
013:020 Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord,
up again from among the dead--even Him who, by virtue
of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd
of the sheep--
013:021 fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing
of His will, producing in us that which will truly please
Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages
of the Ages! Amen.
013:022 Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact,
it is but a short letter that I have written to you.
013:023 You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set
at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.
013:024 Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren
from Italy send you greetings.
013:025 Grace be with you all! Amen.
