12 Greet each other with a sacred kiss. 13 All of God’s people here send you their greetings.
14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Proven again: joy is crazy important.
Encourage each other. Be accountable for what you say, and test it because it shows what's in your heart.
Peace is so important as well. Even when it means giving up a petty argument or humbling yourself. Be the least of these, a servant of all.
Terrie's Comments:
I have fallen in love with Paul's writings as of lately. I love his writing style and the way he encourages the church as a body as well as specific people through his letters. His love for them all comes out so clearly in each letter.
As he closes these letters to the Corinthians he once again is encouraging them onto better things. pushing them to not stay where they are at but to move onto maturity in Christ, which always moves us from thinking only about ourselves to thinking about what pleases God and how to maintain relationships with others. A self sacrificial love that is grounded in Jesus Christ.
We are now at the end of our Corinthians Challenge! Tomorrow we will be beginning our next challenge ... we will be galloping through Galatians!
