2 Thessalonians 3:16-17

2 Thessalonians 3:16-17. The Lord be with you all. The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

I suppose he always wrote a part of each epistle. Probably through the failure of his eyesight he was unable to write the whole of it with his own hands, but employed some one of his brethren to be his amanuensis. But, in order that every one might know the epistle to be genuine, there was always a little of Paul’s writing, sometimes in big text-hand, as when he says to one church, "You see how large a letter I have written unto you with my own hand."
