Study note
Setting — The writer addresses the brothers while concluding the letter, directly following the explanation of sending a messenger to encourage them. The words — εἰρὴνη (eirēnē) translates literally as peace, and ἀπό (apo) marks the source of the blessing. The thread — The pairing of peace, faith, and love directed to believers recurs in Galatians 6:16, Galatians 5:6, and 1 Peter 5:14. Why it lands — The text states that peace and love grounded in faith come from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. It asks the reader to receive these blessings as divinely given rather than self-produced.
