8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
9 For we rejoice that we are weak, while you are strong. This is also what we pray for: your perfection.
10 Therefore, I write these things while absent, so that, when present, I may not have to act more harshly, according to the authority which the Lord has given to me, for edification and not for destruction.
11 As to the rest, brothers, rejoice, be perfect, be encouraged, have the same mind, have peace. And so the God of peace and love will be with you.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
