³³ For God is not the author of ^[a]confusion but of peace, ^(A)as in all the churches of the saints.

¹⁷ But ^(A)the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, ^(B)without partiality ^(C)and without hypocrisy. ^18 (D)Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

^40 (A)Let all things be done decently and in order.

Benediction

¹⁶ Now may ^(A)the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

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

¹⁶ But ^(A)if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, ^(B)nor do the churches of God.

Benediction, Final Exhortation, Farewell

²⁰ Now may ^(A)the God of peace ^(B)who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, ^(C)that great Shepherd of the sheep, ^(D)through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Live as You Are Called

¹⁷ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And ^(A)so I ^[a]ordain in all the churches.

¹⁵ But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us ^(A)to peace.

³³ Now ^(A)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
