Paul's Greeting Ephesians 1:2 Excerpt ‎Paul’s extension of grace (charis) and peace is different from the normal Greek letters which had only “greetings” or “greeting” (chairein; e.g. , the apocryphal 1 Maccabees 10:18 , 25 ; thousands of ancient papyri letters; and Acts 15:23 ; 23:26 ; James 1:1 ). “Grace” expresses God’s steadfast love toward man and “peace” shows the relational state as a result of that grace. Paul opened his letter to the church at Ephesus with greetings to the believers there, expressing his wish that God’s grace and peace be with them.
