King James Bible
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
Paul invokes divine favor as his final blessing, emphasizing grace as the unmerited gift that defines the Christian experience. The full title 'Lord Jesus Christ' underscores Jesus's sovereignty and messianic identity, making this more than a casual farewell. The blessing extends to the entire Philippian community without exception, reflecting the unity Paul has urged throughout the letter. This inclusive language reinforces that God's grace is communally experienced, not merely individual. This Hebrew affirmation meaning 'so be it' transforms the benediction from wish to declaration, inviting the congregation's agreement. It marks the letter's formal conclusion while expressing confident trust in the blessing's certainty.
