Now the Lord of peace himself See on Romans 15:33; or Christ may be here intended, and called the Lord of peace, in allusion to Isaiah 9:6, where he is foretold under the character of the Prince of peace, because he was to reconcile Jews and Gentiles to God and to one another. Give you peace by all means In every way and manner. This prayer the apostle subjoins to the foregoing command, to intimate that if the rulers of the church are faithful in their exhortations and admonitions, it is to be expected that the Lord will follow their labours with his blessing, and make them effectual for producing peace and righteousness among the members of his body. The Lord be with you all A wish this founded on Christ's promise, (Matthew 28:20,) Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world, with which promise it is probable Paul was made acquainted. The salutation of Paul with mine own hand See on 1 Corinthians 16:21; Galatians 6:11; which is the token in every epistle The mark to know those that are true from such as are counterfeit. So I write This is my custom in all my epistles.
