2 Corinthians13:14

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ , and the love of God , and the communion of the holy Ghost be with you all . Amen .

The free love of our Lord Jesus Christ, shews in the application of his Redemption; that grace which floweth from him as the Fountain of Grace, or cometh by him as the Mediator, between God and Man.

The actual love of God, that good will by which God the Father imbraceth Creatures in Christ, and for his sake

And all the gracious Communications of the holy Spirit of God, (by which he strengtheneth, quickeneth, or comforteth the Souls of Gods People) be with all of you. Whether you value me or no, I heartily wish you well, and all the best things. In this Text, is an eminent proof of the Trinity; all the persons being distinctly named in it, (as in the Commission about Baptism.) The Apostle calleth the Father, God; the Son, Lord: He attributeth Love to the Father; (moved by which he sent his only begotten Son into the World, Iohn 3 16.) Grace to the Son, who loved us freely, and dyed for the Fellowship, or Communion of the Holy Ghost, by whom the Father and Son communicate their love and grace to the Saints.

Amen is here used as a Particle of wishing or desiring the thing before-mentioned; 'tis the same with, Let it so be. Whether added by the Apostle, or subjoined by the Church of Corinth, upon the reading this Epistle amongst them, (as some think) is not material.
