And finally see how the AMPC renders this verse:

Finally, brethren, farewell (rejoice)!

• Be strengthened (perfected, completed, made what you ought to be);
• Be encouraged and consoled and comforted;
• be of the same [agreeable] mind one with another; live in peace,

and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author and Promoter of peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11 AMPC

Do you want to be what God destined you to be? Have you been discouraged, bereaved and disappointed? Have you found yourself at cross-purpose with your brother or sister? You can change that and that’s the charge here; these are commands to BE, and you can, if you choose to be!  Receive grace to mend the broken relationships and let’s all together draw the presence of the God of love with all He has to offer us. Shalom.
