2 Thessalonians 3 Curse or blessing?

Paul's Final Greetings
(1 Corinthians 16:19-24)
16Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
17This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.


Paul says in 1 Corinthians 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a divine curse. Come, O Lord!

Blessings, David
