[5:12] I write you this brief letter with the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful Christian. I want to encourage you and give my testimony that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
[5:13] Your sister church in Babylon, also chosen by God, sends you greetings, and so does my son Mark.
[5:14] Greet one another with the kiss of Christian love. May peace be with all of you who belong to Christ.
