“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,”
May grace and peace be multiplied to you — the traditional apostolic greeting carries weight beyond formality, invoking God's unmerited favor and wholeness. In the knowledge (epignōsis) of God and of Jesus our Lord — the specific term epignōsis suggests deeper, experiential knowledge rather than abstract information. The multiplication formula reflects the dynamic nature of spiritual growth: grace and peace are not static possessions but living realities that increase through deepened knowledge of the divine persons.
