Paul was always aware of the presence of the Lord Jesus with his people (Romans 15:33; Philippians 4:9).Read the comment

The Greek article requires the translation, "Give you the peace" which it is "His to give." "Peace" outward and inward, here and hereafter (Ro 14:17). always--unbroken, not changing with…Read the comment
