1 Corinthians 16:23 - The Pulpit Commentary

1 Corinthians 16:23 - Exposition

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. This is a gnorisma, or "badge of confidence," which, in one or other of its forms, is found at the end of all St. Paul's Epistles. Here it is the same as in 1 Thessalonians 5:28 . "With you all" is added in 2 Thessalonians 3:18 ; Romans 16:24 ; Philippians 4:23 . In Galatians and Philemon we have "with your spirit." In the pastoral Epistles and Colossians, "Peace be with you." In Ephesians 6:24 it is confined to those "who love the Lord Jesus in sincerity." In 2 Corinthians 13:14 alone we have the full "apostolic benediction."
