Farewell.'
30So when they were sent away, they went down to Antioch; and after gathering the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31When they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement.

Fare ye well. 30So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 31Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. 32And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.Christian Standard Bible
