6. But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
7. Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.
8. For we can do nothing against the truth; but for the truth.
9. For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.
10. Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.
11. For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
12. Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you.
