Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 1:3

3 Grace be to you, and peace from God the father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ .

A common, as well as Religious and Christian form of salutation; Pauls mark in every Epistle, and used by him without any variation, (except in his Epistles to Timothy and Titus, where he only adds Mercy, &c.) the want of which, as also of his name, offers some grounds to doubt whether he wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews, Paul had used it in the beginning of his Epistles to the Romans, and both the Epistles to the Corinthians; (see the Notes on Rom. 1.7. 1 Cor. 1.3. 2 Cor. 1.2.) It teaches us in our common discourses whether Epistolary, or otherwise, to speak to our Friends like Christians, who understand and believe that the Grace, Mercy, and Peaçe from God, are the most desirable good things.
