Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
