2 Corinthians 13:11; Finally, Brethren, Farewell
2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Parting words. Last words. It can be emotionally charged when the bond of relationship is precious and therefore parting hard. The relationship between the Apostle Paul and the Corinthian church was very close. The church were begotten because the good Lord constrained His servant to initate the relationship by the preaching of the gospel that resulted in the new births. It is a precious emotional relationship of love between the mother and her child. How the mother through much tribulation brought forth the child. And the nurturing of the initial years painstaking. This was the spiritual bond that God has brought forth that is eternal and beautiful.
