2 Thessalonians 3:16-18
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Summary: Final words are always important words. If you had to prepare your own final words, what would you offer to those listening? Paul offers a prayer, really a prayer wish, an expression of his heart for this church. To a church he planted, instructed, and defended, to a church under threat of persecution from the pagan culture, and threats of unruliness from the inside, Paul offers a prayer for God’s blessings upon this church. Consider his request for the peace of the Lord, his presence and his grace as essential to finishing well in faithfulness.
