Philippians 4:23 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 4:23

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all
The Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read, "with your spirit", as in ( Galatians 6:18 ) ; and so the Alexandrian copy and some others read. This is the apostle's token in all his epistles of the genuineness of them, and which he wrote with his own hand, ( 2 Thessalonians 3:17 2 Thessalonians 3:18 ) ; (See Gill on Romans 16:22), (See Gill on Romans 16:24).

Amen:
with which all the epistles are concluded; (See Gill on Romans 16:27).

The subscription is,

[it was] written [to] the Philippians from Rome, by Epaphroditus;
that this epistle was written to the Philippians by the Apostle Paul, when he was a prisoner at Rome, and sent to them by Epaphroditus their minister, when he returned from him to them.

Philippians 4:23 In-Context

21 Give my greetings to each of God’s holy people—all who belong to Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their greetings.
22 And all the rest of God’s people send you greetings, too, especially those in Caesar’s household.
23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
