 Let's look at chapter 13 verse 10. We stopped with verse 9. He says, Paul prays, he says, this also we pray that you may be made complete, that you may be thoroughly equipped, that you come to that place of maturity. So, he says, this is something that we'd like to, we pray for you. And second part, sorry, when we go into verse 10, he says, therefore I write these things, being absent, lest present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction. Let me just share the screen. Okay, so verse 10, so he says, therefore I write these things being present, being absent, sorry. So, he says, therefore I write these things, why? That you may come to that place of completeness being thoroughly equipped and being perfectly trained and being mature, therefore we write these things, being absent, I'm writing it to you. Lest, if I'm present, I might use sharpness, sharpness meaning sharpness of words to communicate this, because of the way things are with you all. So, lest I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me. So, he's saying, according to the authority, lest I should use sharpness, but this authority, the Lord has given me for edification, for building up and not for destruction, something that Paul talks over and over again, which the other or the false apostles are actually exploiting the people and with the so-called authority that they have, they are actually exploiting the lives of people. But here, Paul says, I've been given authority and this authority comes from the Lord, which the Lord has given me and he has given me with the purpose and that purpose is for edification, to build up the lives and not for destruction. So, that's something that we need to understand that the Lord gives us authority, the Lord gives us, you know, in for ministry and the thing is that that authority is for edification. It is always to build up people's lives. So, he repeats that again here. Verses 11 to 14, Finally, brethren, farewell, become complete, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. So, in closing, he gives these certain closing greetings and some final instructions. He says, be of good comfort, become complete. Again, the same thing, you know, become complete, be equipped, come to that place of maturity. In another words, he's saying the word used there is cathartic. So, be perfect. It means to complete thoroughly, to come to that place, to be thoroughly equipped, to completely repair something. So, he's saying, be complete in all aspects, be complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. So, again, reminding of earlier things, of earlier instructions is reminding them, be of one mind, right? Because that was the problem in the Corinthian church, that they were all, you know, there was a lot of division and so on. So, saying, be of one mind, and live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you, right? Saying that let the atmosphere around you, let your relationships with each other be one of peace, and let it be of love and peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you, right? Greet one another with a holy kiss. Now, that was something cultural, the way manner in which they greeted, during those times, greeted each other during those times. So, it was a greeting, a loving greeting in that culture. So, it reminds them of that. And also, tells them, conveys the greetings, conveys the love and wishes of all the other believers. So, he says, all the saints greet you. And finally, pronounces and blesses them, saying, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen. So, we see, as we come to the end of this, you know, this is some of the closing thoughts of Paul, right? And the reiteration again is that there is need for maturity. There is need, I see that need in your lives to be thoroughly equipped, so become that, be that, right? So, in these, so, in Second Corinthians, we see that it's a very, very different epistle. Of course, there is the teaching, there is the revelation and everything that Paul shares. But also, we get an insight into the reality of the ministry that Paul did of those times, the reality, meaning some of the hardships, some of the persecutions, and all that is what he mentions. He lists down and the extent to which the trouble that he took in order to share the Gospel for the sake of the ministry. So, all that, you know, he shares and also, yeah, some things that we don't see in the other epistles, you know, he's talking about his spiritual experience, what he experienced in the Third Heavens, what he heard, and so on. So, he shares about that also, right? So, with that, we come to the end of this. Any doubts or any questions you can feel free to ask from anywhere, you know, you can probably go through and see if there are anything that you want to talk about, you want me to explain, that we should explain it again, anything at all, we can look at that now. It's quite an insightful epistle in the sense he gives also some information, some insight into the kind of false ministry that was happening during that time as well, you know, the false apostles, the kind of deceitful work or deceitful ministry that was happening around that time. So, we get a kind of insight into that as Paul shares that, right? Okay, so with that, we come to an end of first and second Corinthians. We will have some tests, which will be uploaded. I think we've done so far only one test, there will be three more tests before the end of the month. So, today is 12th, so before the end of the month or before 26th, there will be three more tests, open book tests, which you will have to respond. So, whenever something is put on the stream, you will get a prompt, right? Whenever we put the link, you will get a prompt. So, I'll put it on the stream and whenever the stream is, things are uploaded, the test is uploaded, you will get a prompt, probably through email. So, just be alert to that, aware of that, and maybe you can put it on the students group also to say, hey, the test is, you know, that the quiz is uploaded. So, please answer that and you can go ahead and answer that. So, for these three tests, you can take time, from the time it is uploaded, till the 26th of November, is that what you say? Let me just double check. Yeah, till that Friday, that is, we have one more Friday in between, 19th of Friday and 26th. So, till the closing hours of that Friday, you can take time and answer the test, right? Okay. So, with that, we come to an end of this course. So, why don't we just pray and then we'll close, right? We'll pray and close. Let's pray. Father, we thank you, Lord. We thank you for these episodes that we were able to study and we thank you for the depth of revelation that is there, the truth that is there. Lord, in each of these episodes, Lord, we thank you for the instructions. We thank you for the exhortations, Lord. We thank you for the revelations, Father God. And as we have learned, as we have studied, O God, as we have gained these insights, Lord, I pray that we will never, Lord, lose sight of these, Lord, that Holy Spirit, we ask that you would write these words upon our hearts and it will be ingrained in our hearts, Lord, so that we might be careful to carry them out, Lord, that we'll be diligent to carry them out and not just be, Lord, hear us of your word, Lord. So, we ask that you would enable us to do this. And I just come at each and every person, Lord, every student into your mighty hand, I pray that you lead them, Lord, from a place of strength that they are right now to another place of strength, God, from glory to glory. And Lord, we thank you that, Lord, each one of them, Lord, you lead them on the path of restoration. You lead them on the path of maturity and equipping and training. Lord, I pray that you take them, Lord, to that place of being thoroughly equipped and thoroughly trained in you, God. We thank you for the time spent in your word. Thank you, Lord, for leading us. We give you all the praise and all the glory. In Jesus' match, his name, we pray. Amen. Okay, thank you guys. So, we'll stop here and God bless you. We'll meet for our Life Skills course, which will be on Thursday. So, next Thursday, we'll meet again. God bless. Bye-bye. Take care.
