Verse 25. Grace be with you all, Amen.
This verse sets down the Conclusion of this Epistle. It is a Conclusion which St Paul constantly useth in every Epistle. Hereupon he himself thus saith, The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every Epistle: so I write, The grace of our Lord, &c. Sometimes it is set down more succinctly, as thus, Grace be with you, Col. 4. 18. 1 Tim. 6. 21. 2 Tim. 4. 22. And Grace be with you all, as here, and Tit. 3. 15. Sometimes more largely, as The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, 1 Thess. 5. 28. and The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Rom. 16. 24. The grace our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, Gal. 6. 18. Philem. v. 25. And Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, Eph. 6. 24. The fullest expression hereof is this, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost, be with you all, Amen, 2 Cor. 13. 14. This form therefore of salutation or benediction is for the most part used by Ministers in dismissing their people from public Assemblies.
