Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Since the gift of God and of Christ is one and the same, Paul wants them to be partakers in the grace of God, that is, in the grace of Jesus Christ. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
The works that the Father does the Son also does, and the gifts that the Father gives, the Son also gives. It is to be understood from this that although we know God as Father, we are still servants of Jesus Christ. We do not call him “brother” but Lord. For he is the only begotten Son by nature, not by adoption, and is Lord of all those who have been made children of God. .
