²¹ Stay always within the boundaries where God’s love can reach and bless you. Wait patiently for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you.

¹⁴ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. May God’s love and the Holy Spirit’s friendship be yours.

Paul

³⁷ Jesus replied, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.’

⁸ But if a person isn’t loving and kind, it shows that he doesn’t know God—for God is love.

²² if anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed. Lord Jesus, come!

⁵ May the Lord bring you into an ever deeper understanding of the love of God and of the patience that comes from Christ.

¹² And may the Lord make your love to grow and overflow to each other and to everyone else, just as our love does toward you.
