Study note
Setting — Paul, identified as an apostle by God’s will, addresses the saints in Ephesus at the opening of his letter.
The words — χάρις (charis) = grace, and εἰρήνη (eirēnē) = peace, function as the primary nouns of the greeting.
The thread — This exact salutation structure appears in Rom 1:7, Gal 1:3, and Titus 1:4.
Why it lands — It directs the reader to receive divine favor and wholeness that originate exclusively from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
