A Personal and Corporate Blessing
Commentators note that Paul's final blessing has two distinct parts. He first offers a personal prayer for his protégé, 'The Lord be with thy spirit' (singular). He then broadens his farewell to include the entire church community, 'Grace be with you' (plural). This structure reveals both his deep personal affection for Timothy and his pastoral care for the whole church.
