| 5:10 | But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering. |
| 5:11 | To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. |
| 5:12 | I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established. |
| 5:13 | The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark. |
| 5:14 | Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
