Observe here, Our apostle’s valediction; it is a benediction. He takes his farewell of them with prayer for them: The grace, or gracious favour, of Christ be with you, and multiply all blessings, both spiritual and temporal, upon you; I am sure I love you all in Christ Jesus, and for his sake.
Happy is it when ministers can take their farewell of their flocks in this manner, with fervent supplication for them, and with solemn, yet serious, protestations of the fervency of their love, and the ardency of their affection towards them. Amen.

1Co 16:23-24. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ — All the blessed tokens and effects of his favour; be with you — And rest upon you for time and eternity! My love — My most sincere, tender, and affectionate regards; be with you all in Christ Jesus — Who is our peace, and the bond of our union with God and one another. There is a great propriety and beauty in this manner of ending an epistle, in which the apostle had so sharply reproved the Corinthians. By assuring them of his love, he showed them that all the severe things he had written proceeded from his anxiety for their eternal welfare, and thereby removed the prejudices which his reproofs might otherwise have raised in their minds. Amen — An expression which I add in testimony of my sincerity and seriousness in this and in all the things I have written.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. This is a gnorisma, or "badge of confidence," which, in one or other of its forms, is found at the end of all St. Paul"s Epistles. Here it is the same as in 1Th_5:28. "With you all is added in 2Th_3:18; Rom_16:24; Php_4:23. In Galatians and Philemon we have "with your spirit. In the pastoral Epistles and Colossians, "Peace be with you." In Eph_6:24 it is confined to those "who love the Lord Jesus in sincerity." In 2Co_13:14 alone we have the full "apostolic benediction."
