This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Suffer the word of exhortation (ἀνέχεσθε τοῦ λόγου τῆς παρακλήσεως)
For “suffer,” rend. “bear with.” See Act 18:14; 2Co 11:1; 2Ti 4:3. Do not become impatient at my counsels in this letter. The word of exhortation refers to the entire epistle which he regards as hortatory rather than didactic or consolatory. The phrase only in Act 13:15.
I have written a letter unto you (ἐπέστειλα ὑμῖν)
A.V. supplies a letter. Rend. “I have written unto you.” The verb only here, Act 15:20; Act 21:25. Lit. to send, not letters only. Sometimes with ἐπιστολαὶ or ἐπιστολὰς letters added, as Neh 6:19; 1 Macc. 12:7. In N.T. always of sending a letter.
In a few words (διὰ βραχέων)
There is a suggestion of apology. Do not grow impatient. The letter is short. The phrase N.T.o , but comp. δἰ ὀλίγων, 1Pe 5:12, and ἐν ὀλίγῳ briefly, Eph 3:3.
