(28) The grace.--St. Paul's autograph to conclude the letter. (See 2Thessalonians 3:17-18.)

Verse 28. - The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. A similar salutation is to be found at the close of all Paul's Epistles; indeed, in the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, he states that this salutation was the token which he affixed to his Epistles (2 Thessalonians 3:17, 18). Amen. To be rejected, as not in the original.

Paul’s closing words are more than a sign-off. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you” assures believers that the same grace that saved them continues to accompany them, sourced in the sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, sufficient for every need, and present with them until He comes.
