Benediction and Farewell

20 Now {may} the God of peace, who through [the] blood of [the] eternal covenant brought back from [the] dead our Lord Jesus, [that] great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with every good work[fn] to do His will. [And] may He accomplish in you[fn] what [is] pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom [be] glory forever [and] ever.[fn] 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.

24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints.

Those from Italy send you greetings.

25 Grace [be] with all of you. Amen.[fn]
