12By Silvanus, our faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly, to counsel and testify that this is the true grace [the undeserved favor] of God. Stand firm in it! 13She [the church] who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son [in the faith], Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love.
