2 Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
This is Paul’s closing admonition to the church at Corinth. There is a promise attached to following this admonition. The promise is that the God of love and peace will be with us. What a promise! What more could we ask? God will be with us and for us. God, in whose presence is love and peace, assurance and security, will be with us. The route to having the presence of God with us is this: strive to grow in holiness, to be mature (perfect), complete. We are to encourage one another, strengthen one another, live at peace with one another. We are to be in unity of the Spirit, striving together toward the common goal of doing the work of God and helping others come to know Him. If we make these things our focus, the presence of God will be with us.
