In I Thessalonians 5:23, Paul expresses a wish on behalf of believers. He is closing the letter, and this is one of those expected elements of polite letter-writing in his day. It is an interesting selection though. Complete in number of human elements (spirit, soul, and body) , and complete sanctification in a holistic sense, brought about by the God of Peace for the day of Jesus' arrival. This, then is the sum of the rest of this life; the perfecting work of the God of Peace to keep me blamelessly intact until Jesus comes. I confess I don't make His job easy. But my job is to let Him do His.
