<p>3:18 <i>The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all</i>- &quot;Grace&quot; often refers to the gift of the Spirit, the power of new life within the heart of the believer which is given by the Lord Jesus. &quot;Be with you&quot; can as well be translated &quot;be within you&quot;, for this is where the Spirit most essentially operates. And such spiritual mindedness was Paul's greatest wish for all believers. He wished it for &quot;all&quot; of them, including those who wouldn't work or were lazy, despite his example of working night and day when weak to support himself; and including those influenced by anti-Paul doctrine. He truly wished the Lord's grace and Spirit to be with them all. For he wished the Lord's glory.</p>
