Christ. So B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, Andreas; but A 'Aleph (') omit.

With you all. B has 'with all the saints.' A, Vulgate, has 'with all.' 'Aleph (') has 'with the saints.' This closing benediction-Paul's mark in his letters-was, after Paul's death, taken up by John. The Old Testament ended with a "curse" from the law; the New Testament ends with a blessing from the Lord Jesus.

Amen. So B 'Aleph ('), Andreas. A, Vulgate Fuldensis, omit.

May the blessed Lord, who has caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning, bless this humble effort to make Scripture expound itself, sanctifying it as an instrument toward the conversion of sinners and the edification of saints, to the glory of His great name and the hastening of His kingdom. Amen.
