For we are glad when (A)we are weak and you are strong. Your (B)restoration is what we pray for. 10 For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come (C)I may not have to be (D)severe in my use of (E)the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

Final Greetings

11 Finally, brothers,[a] rejoice. (F)Aim for restoration, comfort one another,[b] (G)agree with one another, (H)live in peace; and the God of love and (I)peace will be with you.
