²⁵ that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

Final Greetings

¹¹ Finally, brothers,^[a] rejoice. ^(A)Aim for restoration, comfort one another,^{[b] (B)}agree with one another, ^(C)live in peace; and the God of love and ^(D)peace will be with you.

Divisions in the Church

¹⁰ I appeal to you, brothers,^[a] by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no ^(A)divisions among you, but that you be united ^(B)in the same mind and the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is ^(C)quarreling among you, my brothers. ¹² What I mean is that ^(D)each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow ^(E)Apollos,” or “I follow ^(F)Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

^21 (A)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^(B)they also may be in ^(C)us, so that the world ^(D)may believe that you have sent me. ^22 (E)The glory that you have given me ^(F)I have given to them, ^(G)that they may be one even as we are one, ^23 (H)I in them and you in me, ^(I)that they may become perfectly one, ^(J)so that the world may know that you sent me and ^(K)loved them even as ^(L)you loved me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ^(M)with me ^(N)where I am, ^(O)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ^(P)before the foundation of the world. ^25 (Q)O righteous Father, even though ^(R)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. ^26 (S)I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love ^(T)with which you have loved me may be in them, and ^(U)I in them.”

Commendation of Titus

¹⁶ But ^(A)thanks be to God, ^(B)who put into the heart of Titus the same earnest care I have for you.

³ for you are still of the flesh. For while there is ^(A)jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?

¹² So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the one ^(A)who did the wrong, nor for the sake of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your earnestness for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.
