“And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.”
Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God. — Paul pronounces 'eirēnē' (peace) and 'eleos' (mercy) upon those who 'stoicheo' (hold to) this principle ('kanōn', the rule of 5:25, Spirit-alignment); 'ho Israel tou theou' (the Israel of God) likely designates the Spirit-community as the true Israel, inheriting the promises.
