Lexham English Bible
10 Because of this, I am writing these things although I[a] am absent, in order that when I[b] am present I may not have to act severely according to the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
Final Greetings and Benediction
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be encouraged, be in agreement[c], be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
