This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Th 3:17. Τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ, with my own hand) Therefore the greater part of the epistle had been written by another hand.-σημεῖον, token) We have reason to believe that Paul [with a view to guard against fraud of every kind, ch. 2Th 2:2.-V. g.] distinguished, by a peculiar and inimitable painting (tracing) and formation of the letters, the words of the salutation, grace, etc., 2Th 3:18.-ἐν πάσῃ ἐπ στολῇ, in every epistle) He had at that time, therefore, already written more.-οὕτω, so) not otherwise. He hereby meets any doubt.[31]
