Paul's greeting is inclusive. 1. To the Greeks, he used the word "grace." 2. To the Hebrews, he used the word "peace." He used both words so no group would be excluded.

Just as grace was to the Greek listeners, Paul added to the traditional Jewish greeting, "shalom" which means "peace" Paul was Jewish.

Many people believe Paul wrote the Book of Hebrews. However, that particular book does not follow the format, greetings, closing, and so many other things used by Paul in his 13 books of the New Testament.
