2 Tesalonika 3:17

3:17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter. ⁵ 

[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “quickly, soon.”

[2:2]  ² tn Grk “as through us.”

[2:15]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:3.

[2:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “that you were taught whether by word or by letter of ours.”

[3:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “The greeting in my hand, Paul, which is a sign in every letter, thus I write.”

[3:17]  sn Up to 3:17 the letter was dictated by Paul but written down by a secretary or amanuensis. But Paul took up the pen and wrote vv. 17-18 personally to authenticate that it was his (how I write in every letter). See similar indications in 1 Cor 16:21; Gal 6:11; and Col 4:18.
