3: 12,

the Lord Jesus, to quietly attend to their business and earn their own living. But you, for your part, brothers, must not grow weary in well doing. If any one does not listen to what we say in this letter, mark that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be ashamed. And yet do not treat him as an enemy, but, on the contrary, warn him as a brother.

And now may the Lord himself,

The author and giver of peace,

Give you peace at all times and in every way.
May the Lord be with you all.

And now I, Paul, with my own hand, add these closing words of greeting, and they are a mark of genuineness in all my letters. This is the way I write.

I. CORINTHIANS.

Paul,

By calling and by God's will,
An apostle of Jesus Christ,

And who are by calling devoted,

With all those, in every place,

May favor be yours and peace,

From God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am always thanking God concerning you,

For his favor bestowed on you in Christ Jesus. For in every way you have been enriched in him,

And it was in this way you strengthened the witness Which I bore to the Christ.

And the result is, you are not deficient in any favor,

While you are eagerly waiting for

So that you may be found blameless,

On the day when our Lord Jesus Christ finally

comes.

Faithful is the God who called you

To have a share in his Son Jesus Christ.

Brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I beg you all to call yourselves by the same name, and not to be divided among yourselves, but to be restored to harmony in mind and in judgment. For it has been made known to me, my brothers, by some of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. What I mean is this: Each one of you keeps saying: I follow Paul, or, I follow Apollos, or, I follow Cephas, or, I follow Christ. Christ, then, has been torn to pieces! Surely Paul was not crucified for you? Or, were you purified so as to partake of his nature? I am
