Philippians 1:2 meaning and explanation

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:2, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Paul writes from prison to the believers in Philippi, a church he had helped plant, and he opens with a greeting that blends the Greek word for grace, charis, with the Hebrew word for peace, shalom. Grace names God's unearned favor; peace names the wholeness that follows from it.
