Matthew Henry Commentary Ephesians 6:19-24

"And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with [a love] incorruptible." — Ephesians 6:19-24 (ASV)

The gospel was a mystery until it was made known by divine revelation, and it is the work of Christ's ministers to declare it. The best and most eminent ministers need the prayers of believers. Those who are exposed to great hardships and perils in their work should particularly be prayed for.

Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith. By "peace," understand all kinds of peace: peace with God, peace of conscience, and peace among themselves. And the grace of the Spirit, producing faith and love, and every grace. He desires these for those in whom they have already begun.

And all grace and blessings come to the saints from God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Grace—that is, the favor of God, and all good, spiritual and temporal, which comes from it—is and will be with all those who, in this way, love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, and with them alone.
