19 For everyone has heard about your obedience; therefore I rejoice over you. However, I want you to be wise concerning good, but innocent concerning evil.
20 And God, the source of shalom, will soon crush the Adversary under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Yeshua be with you.

the binding power of shalom.

3 and making every effort to preserve the unity the Spirit gives through the binding power of shalom.
Ephesians 4 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
The ancient Hebrew concept of peace, rooted in the word “shalom,” meant wholeness, completeness, soundness, health, safety and prosperity, carrying with it the implication of permanence. Shalom and peace.
22 But Sha’ul was being filled with more and more power and was creating an uproar among the Jews living in Dammesek with his proofs that Yeshua is the Messiah.
Acts 9 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
1 Meanwhile, Sha’ul, still breathing murderous threats against the Lord’s talmidim, went to the cohen hagadol
2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Dammesek, authorizing him to arrest any people he might find, whether men or women, who belonged to “the Way,” and bring them back to Yerushalayim.
3 He was on the road and nearing Dammesek, when suddenly a light from heaven flashed all around him.
4 Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Sha’ul! Sha’ul! Why do you keep persecuting me?”
5 “Sir, who are you?” he asked. “I am Yeshua, and you are persecuting me.
6 But get up, and go into the city, and you will be told what you have to do.”
7 The men traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
8 They helped Sha’ul get up off the ground; but when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing. So, leading him by the hand, they brought him into Dammesek.
9 For three days he remained unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.
10 There was a talmid in Dammesek, Hananyah by name; and in a vision the Lord said to him, “Hananyah!” He said, “Here I am, Lord.”
11 The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to Straight Street, to Y’hudah’s house; and ask for a man from Tarsus named Sha’ul; for he is praying,
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Hananyah coming in and placing his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13 But Hananyah answered, “Lord, many have told me about this man, how much harm he has done to your people in Yerushalayim;
14 and here he has a warrant from the head cohanim to arrest everyone who calls on your name.”
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name to the Goyim, even to their kings, and to the sons of Isra’el as well.
16 For I myself will show him how much he will have to suffer on account of my name.”
17 So Hananyah left and went into the house. Placing his hands on him, he said, “Brother Sha’ul, the Lord — Yeshua, the one who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here — has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh.”
18 In that moment, something like scales fell away from Sha’ul’s eyes; and he could see again. He got up and was immersed;
19 then he ate some food and regained his strength.
Sha’ul spent some days with the talmidim in Dammesek,
20 and immediately he began proclaiming in the synagogues that Yeshua is the Son of God.
21 All who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Isn’t he the man who in Yerushalayim was trying to destroy the people who call on this name? In fact, isn’t that why he came here, to arrest them and bring them back to the head cohanim?”
22 But Sha’ul was being filled with more and more power and was creating an uproar among the Jews living in Dammesek with his proofs that Yeshua is the Messiah.
23 Quite some time later, the non-believing Jews gathered together and made plans to kill him;
24 but their plot became known to Sha’ul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to do away with him;
25 but under cover of night, his talmidim took him and let him down over the city wall, lowering him in a large basket.
