Albert Barnes Commentary Ephesians 6:24

"Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with [a love] incorruptible." — Ephesians 6:24 (ASV)

Grace be, et cetera. (See Barnes' Notes on Romans 16:20.)

That love our Lord Jesus Christ. (See Barnes' Notes on 1 Corinthians 16:22.)

In sincerity. The marginal reading is with incorruption. This means with a pure heart, without dissembling, and without hypocrisy.

There could not be a more appropriate close to the epistle than such a wish. Indeed, there will be nothing more necessary for us when we come to the close of life than the consciousness that we love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

May this then be an equally inestimable consolation for both writer and reader! Evidence of such sincere love will then be far better than all the wealth that toil can gain, all the honors that the world can bestow—better than the most splendid mansion or the widest fame.

The subscription to this epistle, like those added to the other epistles, is of no authority; however, in this instance, there is every reason to believe that it is correct. Compare the notes at the end of the epistles to Romans and 1 Corinthians.
