16. ‘ May the Lord, from whom all peace comes, Himself give you His peace at all times and in all ways. The Lord be with you all.’ 16. Αὐτὸςδέκτλ.] For αὐτὸςδέ see 1 Thessalonians 3:11 note, and for ὁκύρ. τ. εἰρ., here evidently the Lord Jesus (cf. v. 5), see 1 Thessalonians 5:23 note. The Hellenistic opt. δῴη (for δοίῃ) is found again in the N.T. in Romans 15:5, 2 Timothy 1:16; 2 Timothy 1:18 (WSchm. p. 120). For διὰπαντός ‘ continually,’ as distinguished from πάντοτε ‘ at all times’ see Westcott’ s note on Hebrews 9:6, and cf. P.Lond. 1:42, 1:6 (cited in note on 1 Thessalonians 1:3). The v.l. ἐνπαντὶτόπῳ (ADG 17 Vg Go) doubtless arose through the desire to conform a somewhat awkward phrase (cf. παντὶτρόπῳ Philippians 1:18, κατὰπάντατρόπυν Romans 3:2) to the more common expression (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:8, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Timothy 2:8). μετὰπάντωνὑμῶν]— even with the disorderly brother, cf. v. 18 and for πάντων used with a similar emphasis see the Benedictions in 1 Corinthians 16:24, 2 Corinthians 13:13.
