Philemon 1:25

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant. >>

Ver. 25. The grace of our Lord] Say the world what it will, a grain of grace is worth a world of wealth. The blessings that come. out of Sion are better than any that come out of heaven and earth, Psalms 134:3; for they outlast the days of heaven, and run parallel with the life of God and line of eternity. Pray for them therefore in the behalf of ourselves and others, as Paul constantly doth for grace, not with graceless Nero, but with the Lord Jesus Christ, one good cast of whose pleased countenance was better to David than his crown and sceptre, Psalms 4:7,8 .
