Commentary
12 notes on this verseSince "grace" is something common, he asks for it generally for "all" — both for teachers and for those governed. What then is grace? The remission of sins, purification, the communion of the Spirit. How then could it be with you? If you do not …

bear with my word of exhortation
on Hebrews 13:22-25
The writer calls the letter my word of exhortation, the phrase Acts 13:15 uses for a synagogue sermon. Timothy has been released, and a joint visit ties the writer to the circle of Paul. Those from Italy may mean the writer was in Italy or with Italians abroad.

Grace be with all of you
Jamieson, Fausset and Brown call this closing the badge of Paul, found in every one of his other thirteen letters, as 2 Thessalonians 3:17 says. No other apostle used it in his lifetime, they add. John Wesley also calls it the usual benediction of Paul.

"Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all. Amen." "Salute them that have the rule over you, and all the saints." See how he honored them, since he wrote to them instead of to those (their rulers). "They of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all. Amen." Which was for them all in common. But how does "Grace" come to be "with" us? If we do not do despite to the benefit, if we do not become indolent in regard to the Gift. And what is "the grace"? Remission of sins, Cleansing: this is "with" us. For who (he means) can keep the Grace despitefully, and not destroy it? For instance; He freely forgave thee thy sins. How then shall the "Grace be with" thee, whether it be the good favor or the effectual working of the Spirit? If thou draw it to thee by good deeds. For the cause of all good things is this, the continual abiding with us of the "grace" of the Spirit. For this guides us to all good things, just as when it flies away from us, it ruins us, and leaves us desolate. Let us not then drive it from us. For on ourselves depends, both its remaining, and its departing. For the one results, when we mind heavenly things; the other, when we mind the things of this life. "Which the world" (He says) "cannot receive because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him." (John xiv. 17.) Seest thou that a worldly soul cannot have Him? We need great earnestness that so there He may be held fast by us, so as to direct all our affairs, and do them in security, and in much peace.
"Grace be with all of you." Since grace is something common, it is prayed for mutually for all, both leaders and those being led. But what is grace? It is the forgiveness of sins, the cleansing, the participation in the Spirit. How can it be …
He appended the usual conclusion, invoking on them a share in grace. As for us, let us sing the praises of the giver of old laws and new. And let us pray to receive grace from him so that by observing the divine laws we …

Then he concludes in his accustomed manner, as though sealing it with a personal greeting: Grace be with all of you. Amen, i.e., the remission of sins and any other of God's gifts, which are obtained through the grace of God, be firmly with all …
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Grace be with you all, Amen. Which is the apostle's usual salutation in all his epistles, 2Th 3:17 in which he wishes renewed discoveries of the love and favour of God; fresh communications of grace from Christ; an abundant supply of the spirit of grace; an increase of internal grace and external gifts; and a continuance of the Gospel of the grace of God. Of "Amen"; see Gill on Heb 13:

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)
Grace be with you all - notes, Rom 16:20, Rom 16:24. The subscription at the close of the Epistle “written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy,” like the other subscriptions, is of no authority; see notes at the end of 1 Cor. It is demonstrably erroneous here, for it is expressly said by the author of the Epistle that at the time he wrote it, Timothy was absent; Heb 13:23. In regard to the time and place of writing it, see the Introduction, section

It is used in Re 22:21, written subsequently, and in CLEMENT OF ROME. Being known to be his badge, it is not used by others in his lifetime. The Greek here is, "The grace (namely, of our Lord Jesus Christ) be with you all." Fausset
Grace be with you all - May the Divine favor ever rest upon you and among you; and may you receive, from that source of all good, whatsoever is calculated to make you wise, holy, useful, and happy! And may you be enabled to persevere in the truth to the end of your lives! Amen. May it be so! May God seal the prayer by giving the blessings! The subscriptions to this epistle are, as in other cases, various and contradictory. The Versions are as follow: - The Epistle to the Hebrews was written from Roman Italy, and sent by the hand of Timothy. - Syriac. Vulgate nothing, in the present printed copies. It was written from Italy by Timothy: with the assistance of God, disposing every thing right, the fourteen epistles of the blessed Paul are completed, according to the copy from which they have been transcribed. May the Lord extend his benedictions to us. Amen. - Arabic. The Epistle to the Hebrews is completed. The end. - Aethiopic. Written in Italy, and sent by Timothy. - Coptic. The Manuscripts, and ancient editions taken from MSS., are not more to be relied on. To the Hebrews, written from Rome. - Codex Alexandrinus. The epistles of Saint Paul the apostle arc finished. - Colophon, at the end of this epistle; in one of the first printed Bibles; and in an ancient MS. of the Vulgate in my own collection.
