ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μεθ’ ὑμῶν

the grace ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ with you_all_‹be›

As was customary in his culture, Paul closes his letter with a blessing for the Thessalonians. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [May you experience kindness from our Lord Jesus Christ within you] or [I pray that you will have grace from our Lord Jesus Christ]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μεθ’ ὑμῶν

the grace ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ with you_all_‹be›

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [May our Lord Jesus Christ act graciously toward you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Here, the word our includes Paul, Silvanus, Timothy, the Thessalonians, and all believers. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

μεθ’ ὑμῶν

Here, many ancient manuscripts read be with you. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts add “Amen” after be with you. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
