“Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ — the standard Pauline benediction fuses Hellenistic greeting (charis) with Hebrew peace (shalom), both originating from the triune God. This dual source grounds Christian peace not in circumstance but in God's gracious disposition toward us in Christ.
