SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:3
Gracia y paz tengis de Dios nuestro Padre, y del Seor Jess el Cristo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:3
Verse 3. Grace be unto you] For a full explanation of all these terms, see the notes on Rom. i. 7.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - All Christians are by baptism dedicated and devoted to Christ, and ar under strict obligations to be holy. But in the true church of God ar all who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, and wh call upon him as God manifest in the flesh, for all the blessings of salvation; who acknowledge and obey him as their Lord, and as Lord of all; it includes no other persons. Christians are distinguished from the profane and atheists, that they dare not live without prayer; an they are distinguished from Jews and pagans, that they call on the nam of Christ. Observe how often in these verses the apostle repeats the words, Our Lord Jesus Christ. He feared not to make too frequent or to honourable mention of him. To all who called upon Christ, the apostl gave his usual salutation, desiring, in their behalf, the pardonin mercy, sanctifying grace, and comforting peace of God, through Jesu Christ. Sinners can have no peace with God, nor any from him, but through Christ. He gives thanks for their conversion to the faith of Christ; that grace was given them by Jesus Christ. They had bee enriched by him with all spiritual gifts. He speaks of utterance an knowledge. And where God has given these two gifts, he has given grea power for usefulness. These were gifts of the Holy Ghost, by which God bore witness to the apostles. Those that wait for the coming of ou Lord Jesus Christ, will be kept by him to the end; and those that ar so, will be blameless in the day of Christ, made so by rich and fre grace. How glorious are the hopes of such a privilege; to be kept by the power of Christ, from the power of our corruptions and Satan' temptations!

Vincent's NT Word Studies
3. Grace - peace. Grace is the Greek salutation, peace the Jewish. Both in the spiritual sense. Compare Num. vi. 25, 26. This form of salutation is common to all Paul's epistles to the churches. In Timothy and Titus, mercy is added. James alone has the ordinary conventional salutation, cairein rejoice, hail, greeting.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:3 Identical language of #2Th 1:2 save absence of hemwn (our), Paul's usual greeting. See on 1Th 1:1.
