NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Phm_1:25

25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Phm_1:25 This is an example of a typical Pauline closing blessing. Note that the phrase "be with your spirit" is a good example of the small "s" (spirit) which is used of man's spirit, (or self, cf. Act_7:59; 2Ti_4:22) not the Holy Spirit (cf. Gal_6:18; Php_4:23). However, in many instances in the NT, it refers to man's spirit which is energized by the Holy Spirit. This is probably the implication here.
