Dictionary: Jesus
Paul prayed a final blessing for the Thessalonians. He prayed that Christ would cause their lives to go well. He then signed the letter in his own handwriting.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
¶ May our(incl) Lord Jesus Christ be gracious to you all.
¶ I pray to God that our(incl) Lord Jesus Christ will greatly bless you all.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you: Paul ended all his letters with a form of blessing. The form varies from letter to letter. See the note on 1 Thessalonians 5:28. Notice that there is one difference between the text there and the text in this verse. There Paul said “you.” Here he said “all of you.” Both pronouns are plural.
Several English versions include the word “Amen” at the end of the letter. This word is found in some ancient manuscripts. However, it is recommended that you not include this word in your translation, as it is not found in the manuscripts that scholars consider most reliable.

ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετά πάντων ὑμῶν)
Paul ends the letter with one more blessing. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [I pray that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ will be with you all]
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
