19I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.
20Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,
21Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.
22But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.
23Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.
24Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.
