Ephesians Chapter 6, Verse 24
From BibleWiki
24: η χαρις μετα παντων των αγαπωντων τον κυριον ημων ιησουν χριστον εν αφθαρσια αμην προς εφεσιους εγραφη απο ρωμης δια τυχικου
24: Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity. Amen.
24: Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in
incorruption. Amen.
Grace be, etc. See "Rom 16:20".
That love our Lord Jesus Christ. See "1Cor 16:22".
In sincerity. Marg., with incorruption. With a pure heart; without dissembling; with- out hypocrisy. There could not be a more appropriate close of the epistle than such a wish; there will be nothing more needful for us, when we come to the close of life, than the consciousness that we love the Lord Jesus Christ IN SINCERITY. To writer and reader may this be equally the inestimable consolation then! Better, far better then will be the evidence of such sincere love, than all the wealth which toll can gain, all the honours which the world can bestow -- than the most splendid mansion, or the widest fame.
The subscription to this epistle, like those affixed to the other epistles, is of no authority, but in this instance there is every reason to believe that it is correct. Comp. Notes at the end of the epistle to the Romans and I Corinthians.
