Grace
The concept of grace is central to Christian theology, representing unmerited favor from God. In the New Testament, grace is often associated with salvation and the work of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is a gift that cannot be earned, highlighting God's love and mercy. The Greek word for grace, "charis," implies kindness and goodwill, which is a recurring theme throughout the epistles.

be with
This phrase suggests a continual presence and influence. In biblical terms, the presence of grace is not a one-time event but an ongoing reality for believers. It echoes the priestly blessing in Numbers 6:24-26, where God's favor and peace are invoked upon His people. The idea of God being "with" His people is a reassurance of His constant support and guidance.

all of you.
The inclusivity of "all" emphasizes the communal aspect of the Christian faith. The letter to the Hebrews was addressed to a community of believers, likely Jewish Christians facing persecution. This phrase underscores the unity and shared experience of the church, as seen in other New Testament writings (e.g., Galatians 3:28). It reflects the early church's understanding of being one body in Christ, transcending individual differences and challenges.

Perseverance through Grace

[As in the other Epistles the subscription is destitute of authority, not being found (in the form given above) in any MS. of the Epistle earlier than the ninth century. No ancient MS. contains more than the simple notice, "To the Hebrews," except the Alexandrian, which adds "written from Rome." The mention of Rome or Italy is, no doubt, due to Hebrews 13:24. It is possible also that Hebrews 13:23 is the only authority for the reference to Timothy as the bearer of the Epistle: for an ancient interpretation understands that verse to speak, not of the release of Timothy from captivity, but of his departure on some official mission.] . . .

Verse 25. - Grace be with you all. Amen.
