“Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.”
King James Version (KJV)

No, this is not speaking of disfellowshipping. This is telling us God is the God of Peace. He's the Lord of peace. May He give you peace always through all things.
Literal translation: The Lord (is) with you all.
Now if He's the Lord of peace and He's with me all the time, then I can experience the peace of God, because, He's with me always, and He is my peace.
The section of scripture that talks about disfellowshipping is found in Matthew Chapter 18 Verses 15 to 20.

Ethel: I've seen many cases of this condition . They are similar but different. There is homeless, blatantly disobedient and "Failure to Launch", under-employed, etc.
I like the story I heard about a mother eagle. She pads that nest for her babies, but when it's time to leave the nest to make their own, she starts pulling out all the fluff, then the small branches till they're clinging to a few big branches. Then one by one she flys them up a mile and let's go. They learn to fly real quick.
We have to be a parent or friend that TEACHES, not enable. We care for them, teach life skills 101, help them with resumes, interview skills; how to manage public transportation; all the basics we learned. After they get a job, teach them about bills, saving, disaster planning, cooking, cleaning. It's not gonna work if you don't set your face like flint. Don't pay their bills or entertainment anymore!
You have to make time for this or they'll be yours for LIFE. Be strong in the Lord.

Do this chapter and verse mean to sound Christian and disfellowship a person??
