The grace
The term "grace" in Greek is "charis," which signifies unmerited favor and divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration and sanctification. In the context of the New Testament, grace is a central theme, representing God's love and mercy extended to humanity through Jesus Christ. It is not earned by works but is a gift from God, emphasizing the foundational Christian belief in salvation by grace through faith. This grace is transformative, enabling believers to live in a manner that reflects Christ's love and righteousness.

of our Lord
The phrase "our Lord" underscores the personal relationship believers have with Jesus Christ. The Greek word "Kyrios" is used here, which denotes authority and ownership. In the early Christian context, calling Jesus "Lord" was a profound declaration of His divinity and sovereignty. It reflects the early church's understanding of Jesus as not only a teacher or prophet but as the divine ruler and master of their lives. This acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is central to Christian confession and discipleship.

Jesus Christ
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." "Christ" comes from the Greek "Christos," meaning "Anointed One," equivalent to the Hebrew "Messiah." Together, "Jesus Christ" affirms both His role as Savior and His divine anointing as the promised deliverer. Historically, this title encapsulates the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the hope of redemption for all humanity. It is a declaration of faith in His life, death, and resurrection as the cornerstone of Christian belief.

be with you all
This phrase is a benediction, a common closing in Paul's letters, expressing a desire for the continual presence and blessing of Christ's grace among the recipients. The Greek "meta" (with) implies accompaniment and fellowship, suggesting that the grace of Jesus is not a one-time gift but an ongoing presence in the lives of believers. "You all" indicates the communal aspect of the Christian faith, emphasizing unity and inclusivity within the body of Christ. This closing reflects the apostle's pastoral heart and his desire for the Thessalonian church to remain steadfast in their faith, supported by the grace of Christ.

(18) The grace.--This is his "salutation." The Greek secular salutation, at greeting and parting alike, was chaire (literally, rejoice); so St. Paul, alike at beginning and ending, uses a word of kindred origin, charis ("grace"). Observe the word "all" again, as in 2Thessalonians 3:16. St. Chrysostom's beautiful comment may well be given: "What he calls his 'salutation' is the prayer, snowing that the whole business they were then about was spiritual; and even when he must give a salutation, there must go some benefit along with it, and it must be a prayer, not a mere symbol of friendship. 'Twas with this he would begin, and with this he would end, fencing round that which he said with mighty walls on either side; and safe were the foundations he laid, and safe the conclusion that he laid thereon. 'Grace to you,' he cries, 'and peace'; and once more, ['Peace always' and] 'the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.--Amen. '"
