23: ειρηνη τοις αδελφοις και αγαπη μετα πιστεως απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ιησου χριστου— edit Textus Receptus
23: Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.- edit KJV text
23: Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.— edit Douay text


Peace be to the brethren. The epistle is closed with the usual salutations. The expression, "peace to you," was the common form of salutation in the East, See "Mt 10:13"; See "Lk 24:36"; See "Rom 15:33"; comp. Gal 6:16 1 Pet 5:14 3Jn 1:14, and is still the "salam" which is used -- the word salam meaning peace.

And love with faith. Love united with faith; not only desiring that they might have faith, but the faith which worked by love.

From God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father and the Son are regarded as equally the author of peace and love. See "2Cor 13:14".
