What Does Ephesians 6:23 Mean?
Paul begins his closing blessing: 'Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith.' He gathers up the great themes of the letter -- peace, love, and faith -- and prays them upon his readers. These are the gifts he most desires for them as he lays down his pen.
The source is named: 'from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.' As at the letter's opening, the Father and the Son are joined as the source of every blessing. What Paul wishes for the church is not his to give but God's, and so he commends them to the Father and the Lord from whom all good comes.
