Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ver. 3. Grace be to you and peace] All peace that flows not from the sense of God's love and favour, is as that of the Romans with the Samnites, unsound and uncertain. Pax infida, pax incerta. Peace with the treacherous is a dubious peace. (Livius.) See Trapp on " Rom 1:7 "
