Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καί | kaí} then coordinates a second genitival phrase kyriou Iesou Christou {κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | kyríou Iēsou Khristoû} ‘of the Lord Jesus Christ’, with the single preposition apo governing both genitive units, thereby presenting God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ as a unified source of the same spiritual blessings. English rendering preserves the blessing structure (“Grace to you and peace”) and represents the shared source by linking the two genitive phrases under one preposition in the formal translation, while the dynamic rendering makes the parallelism explicit by repeating “from” for clarity in contemporary usage.
In context — Philippians 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .
