23 Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who `are' in Christ Jesus! Amen.
and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord `is' with you all!
John to the seven assemblies that `are' in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,
hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that `is' in you toward Christ Jesus; for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that `is' in Christ Jesus:
And he saith, `Peace to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father hath given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came unto me;' and he bringeth out Simeon unto them.
We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and `from' the Lord Jesus Christ!
Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee. Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places, For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace `be' in thee.' For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

Commentary on Ephesians 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter,
Eph 6:1-9
Here we have further directions concerning relative duties, in which the apostle is very particular.
Eph 6:10-18
Here is a general exhortation to constancy in our Christian course, and to encourage in our Christian warfare. Is not our life a warfare?
