The invocation of "The Lord" refers to Jesus Christ, emphasizing His divine presence and support. In the context of Paul's letters, this is a common way to express a blessing, indicating the importance of spiritual companionship and strength. The mention of "your spirit" highlights the inner being of Timothy, suggesting that true strength and guidance come from a deep, personal relationship with Christ. This echoes other scriptural themes, such as in <a href="/philippians/4-13.htm">Philippians 4:13</a>, where Paul speaks of doing all things through Christ who strengthens him. The phrase also reflects the early Christian understanding of the Holy Spirit's role in empowering and guiding believers, as seen in <a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16-17</a>, where Jesus promises the Holy Spirit as a helper.<p><b>Grace be with you all.</b><br>This closing benediction extends beyond Timothy to the broader Christian community, as indicated by "you all." The concept of grace is central to Paul's theology, representing unmerited favor from God, a theme prevalent throughout the New Testament. Grace is foundational to salvation, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>, where Paul explains that it is by grace through faith that believers are saved. The communal aspect of this blessing underscores the unity and shared experience of the early church, which faced persecution and needed divine grace to persevere. This phrase also serves as a reminder of the sufficiency of God's grace, as Paul discusses in <a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>, where he recounts God's assurance that His grace is sufficient for all needs. The benediction encapsulates the hope and encouragement that Paul consistently offers to the church, pointing to the sustaining power of God's grace in the life of believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a></b><br>- The apostle and author of the letter, writing to Timothy from prison in Rome.

The salutation as it stands in the R.T. is like the versicles, "The Lord be with you. <span class="accented">A.</span> And with thy spirit." It is a peculiarity of the salutation here that it is double - one to Timothy personally, <span class="greek">μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου</span>; the other to the Church, <span class="greek">ἡ χάρις μεθ ὑμῶν</span>. <a href="/1_corinthians/16-24.htm">1 Corinthians 16:24</a> exhibits another variety. Grace (see <a href="/1_timothy/6-21.htm">1 Timothy 6:21</a>, note). The R.T. omits the "amen" at the end, as in <a href="/1_timothy/6-21.htm">1 Timothy 6:21</a>. Thus doses our last authentic account of this great apostle; these are, perhaps, the last words of him who wrought a greater change in the condition of mankind by his speech than any man that ever lived.
