Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Corinthians 1:3

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." — 1 Corinthians 1:3 (ASV)

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

Grace first, for that is the fountain; then peace comes, for that is the fitting stream to flow from the fountain of grace. Do not seek peace first, for there is no peace for unregenerate man; grace first, then peace, and both must come from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
