Commentary on Ephesians 6:23

Theological / Devotional

Peace. In this benediction the apostle recalls the words of his opening prayer (see on ch. 1:2).

Brethren. That is, the community of believers brought together into the “body of Christ” (ch. 4:12).

Love with faith. This is love in its widest meaning, united with faith, both coming from God. It is the Holy Spirit who pours it out in our hearts (Rom. 5:5).

God the Father … Christ. See on Eph. 1:2; cf. 2 Tim. 1:2; Titus 1:4.
