1 PETER 5:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.”
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ — the final exhortation to 'greet one another with a kiss of love' (philēmati agapēs) establishes physical affection as expression of Christian community. The benediction of 'peace' (eirēnē) 'to all in Christ' provides the letter's closing blessing, reiterating believers' identity as those incorporated into Christ.
