2 Corinthians 13:11-12; Greet One Another
2 Corinthians 13:11-12 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. Greet one another with an holy kiss.
A kindly affection out borne of God’s love filled the heart of the Apostle Paul has he sends a final greeting, concluding his letter to the Corinthian church. He sends them an holy kiss, an sanctified expression of his love for them that God has first imparted to him. It genders peace, God’s peace. A state of harmony and unity, strength and rest amongst the people of God undergirded by the desire to glory God’s Name according to His Word. This is his prayer for the brethren.
