6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 2 with your spirit, brothers and sisters. 3 Amen.
1 tn Or “have I become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?” The participle ἀληθεύων (alhqeuwn) can be translated as a causal adverbial participle or as a participle of means (as in the translation).
2 tn Or “is.” No verb is stated, but a wish (“be”) rather than a declarative statement (“is”) is most likely in a concluding greeting such as this.
3 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.
