Peace be to the brethren That is, all prosperity in matters temporal and spiritual; and love To God, one another, and all the saints, arising from God's love to you; with faith In God, in Christ, and his gospel, accompanied with every other grace; from God the Father The original source of all our blessings; and the Lord Jesus Christ Through whose mediation alone they are communicated to us. Grace The unmerited favour of God, and those influences of his Spirit, which are the effect thereof; be with all them that love our Lord Jesus in sincerity Εν αφθαρσια, literally, in incorruption: that is, without any mixture of corrupt affections, or without decay; who continue to love him till grace shall end in glory.
