Again I say, goodbye." Dear Kevin, The English word "Goodbye" is short for "God be with you". So it does not translate CAIRETE; it translates hO KURIOS MEQ' hUMWN or suchlike. "The Lord be with you" is normally treated as a Salutation, not a Valediction; but can be either. 'Goodbye', is of course always a Valediction.
