Philemon 1:3
“”
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ — the Pauline grace-peace formula (charis kai eirēnē) anchors the letter in soteriological blessing despite its personal content. The invocation of God as Father and Christ as Lord establishes theological ground for the ethical argument to follow: reconciliation reflects the reconciling work of Christ.
