Exegesis
The genitive chain tou kyriou hēmōn Iēsou Christou {τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | tou ku-RI-ou hē-MŌN Iē-SOU Khris-TOU} identifies the source and mediator of this grace. The finite verb of wishing (‘may it be’) is ellipsed, a common epistolary pattern, so both translations supply an English verbal form (“be”) to convey the optative nuance of blessing.
In context — Romans 16:20
But the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet soon. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
