Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
from A Greeting from the Elder, 2 John 1:1-3
What it says

Grace, mercy, and peace come from the Father and the Son in truth and love.

What it is doing

This verse completes the greeting by placing divine blessing within the letter's two governing realities.

In context

1The elder, 2To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth — and not I alone, but also all who know the truth — because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: 3Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
