Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on 1 Thessalonians, 1107patristic
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, Amen. This is the apostle's usual salutation in all his epistles, and the token of the genuineness of them, 2Th 3:17. See Gill on Rom 16:20, 1Co 15:23, 2Co 13:
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)reformed
The grace of our Lord Jesus - As the epistle began so it ends; for the grace of Christ must be at the beginning and end of every work, in order to complete it, and bring it to good effect. Amen - This is wanting in BD*FG and some others. It was probably not written by St. Paul. The subscriptions are, as in other cases, various and contradictory.

(See on 2Co 13:14.) Paul ends as he began (1Th 1:1), with "grace." The oldest manuscripts omit "Amen," which probably was the response of the Church after the public reading of the Epistle. The subscription is a comparatively modern addition.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
We need no more to make us happy than to know that grace which our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested, be interested in that grace which he has purchased, and partake of that grace which dwells in him as the head of the church. This is an ever-flowing and overflowing fountain of grace to supply all our wants.
