The apostle had desired their prayers for him: here he concludes with. fervent prayer for them.

In which observe, The title or attribute given unto God, The God of peace; the lover, the author, and giver of peace. The apostle having exhorted the believing Romans to be at peace among themselves, and not to contend about indifferent things, implores the dispenser of this grace to be with them, to dwell among them, and to pour out the great and invaluable blessings of peace and unity, of love and concord upon them: The God of peace be with you all. Amen. As we honour the God of peace, whom we serve; as we love the Prince of peace, in whom we believe; as we hope for the comfort of the Spirit of peace; and as we tender the success of the gospel of peace; let us preserve it where it is, and pursue it where it flies from us.
