What the Fathers say

1 Thessalonians 5:28

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." And he closes the Epistle with a benediction, praying that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with them. For grace is that which we need above all things, both in the present life and in the life to come.

Homily on 1 Thessalonians 11 ↗

Theophylact of Ohrid

All good things, he says, He has bestowed upon us. Therefore, strive to attract to yourselves the most abundant grace by living worthily of what has already been granted to you. And may this grace preserve us also from every unrighteous path; may we live to the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. To Him belongs all glory forever. Amen.
