³³ For God is not a God of ^(A)confusion but of peace.

As in ^(B)all the churches of the saints,

¹⁷ But ^(A)the wisdom from above is first pure, then ^(B)peaceable, gentle, open to reason, ^(C)full of mercy and good fruits, ^(D)impartial and ^(E)sincere. ¹⁸ And ^(F)a harvest of righteousness ^(G)is sown in peace by those who make peace.

^40 (A)But all things should be done decently and ^(B)in order.

Benediction

¹⁶ Now may ^(A)the Lord of peace himself ^(B)give you peace at all times in every way. ^(C)The Lord be with you all.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, patience, ^(C)kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

^16 (A)If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do ^(B)the churches of God.

Benediction

²⁰ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(C)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(D)the blood of the eternal covenant,

Live as You Are Called

¹⁷ Only let each person lead the life^{[a] (A)}that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. ^(B)This is my rule in ^(C)all the churches.

¹⁵ But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you^{[a] (A)}to peace.
