Commentary
Matthew Henry on Hebrews 13:18–end
Here, I. The apostle recommends himself, and his fellow-sufferers, to the prayers of the Hebrew believers (Heb 13:18): "Pray for us; for me and Timothy" (mentioned Heb 13:23), "and for all those of us who labour in the ministry of the gospel."
1. This is one part of the duty which people owe to their ministers. Ministers need the prayers of the people; and the more earnestly the people pray for their ministers the more benefit they may expect to reap from their ministry. They should pray that God would teach those who are to teach them, that he would make them vigilant, and wise, and zealous, and successful - that he would assist them in all their labours, support them under all their burden…
Paul's characteristic salutation in every one of his other thirteen Epistles, as he says himself, Co1 16:21, Co1 16:23; Col 4:18; Th2 3:17. It is found in no Epistle written by any other apostle in Paul's lifetime. It is used in Rev 22:21, written subsequently, and in CLEMENT OF ROME. Being known to be his badge, it is not used by others in his lifetime. The Greek here is, "The grace (namely, of our Lord Jesus Christ) be with you all."

Adam Clarke on Hebrews 13:25
Grace be with you all - May the Divine favor ever rest upon you and among you; and may you receive, from that source of all good, whatsoever is calculated to make you wise, holy, useful, and happy! And may you be enabled to persevere in the truth to the end of your lives! Amen. May it be so! May God seal the prayer by giving the blessings!
The subscriptions to this epistle are, as in other cases, various and contradictory.
The Versions are as follow: -
The Epistle to the Hebrews was written from Roman Italy, and sent by the hand of Timothy. - Syriac.
Vulgate nothing, in the present printed copies.
It was written from Italy by Timothy: with the assistance of God, disposing every thing right,…
He appended the usual conclusion, invoking on them a share in grace. As for us, let us sing the praises of the giver of old laws and new. And let us pray to receive grace from him so that by observing the divine laws we may attain the promised goods, in Christ Jesus our Lord, to whom with the Father and the all-holy Spirit be glory, now and forever, for ages of ages. Amen.
"Grace be with all of you." Since grace is something common, it is prayed for mutually for all, both leaders and those being led. But what is grace? It is the forgiveness of sins, the cleansing, the participation in the Spirit. How can it be with you all? If you do not insult the support of God, sinning and being negligent, if you do not live unworthily of it. For grace remains when we have good works; it departs when we do not live according to the command of the one who gives it to us. But let it be, knowing this, and all that we have received through it, not to conduct ourselves in arrogance towards such great goods bestowed upon us; but through good works glorifying Him, and showing that this grace was not given to ungrateful and thankless people, to have it unyielding in our souls, in Christ Himself, the supporter of our souls. With whom be glory to the Father, together with the Holy Spirit, now and always, and until forever and ever. Amen. The end, with the aid of divine favor, of the Epistle to the Hebrews. It was written from Italy by Timothy.

on Hebrews 13:25
Grace be with you all, Amen. Which is the apostle's usual salutation in all his epistles, 2 Thessalonians 3:17 in which he wishes renewed discoveries of the love and favour of God; fresh communications of grace from Christ; an abundant supply of the spirit of grace; an increase of internal grace and external gifts; and a continuance of the Gospel of the grace of God. Of "Amen"; see Gill on Hebrews 13:21. The subscription of this epistle is,
written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy; in the Alexandrian copy it is, "written to the Hebrews from Rome"; which is very probable, since the Italian brethren send their salutations in it; and the words, "by Timothy", are left out; nor is it likely…
Hebrews 13:20-25
20. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
20. Porro Deus pacis, qui eduxit ex mortuis Pastorem ovium magnum in sanguine Testamenti aeterni, Dominum nostrum Iesum,
21. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21. Confirmet (alias, aptet, vel, perficiat) vos in omni opere bono, ut faciatis ejus voluntatem, faciens in vobis quod acceptum sit coram ipso, per Iesum Christum, cui gloria in secula seculorum. Amen.
22. And I beseech you…
The book closes with a formal greeting and a blessing. • The believers from Italy: The author is probably writing back to Rome from elsewhere in the Mediterranean world; some scholars, however, have thought that the author was writing from Rome.
