1 Tim. 1:2 reads: "To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."
Is this is traditional Jewish greeting (modified to include Jesus) of the sort that anyone would say to each other? Or is it something that Paul can say because of his special role as a minister or apostle that allows him to speak on God's behalf? Or something else?
Thanks
