{Of me Paul with mine own hand} (	(8869) em(8869) cheiri Paulou).
Instrumental case cheiri. Note genitive Paulou in apposition
with possessive idea in the possessive pronoun em(8869). Paul had
dictated the letter, but now wrote the salutation in his hand.
{The token in every epistle} (s(886d)eion en pas(8869) epistol(8869)). Mark
(verse  14 ) and proof of the genuineness of each epistle, Paul's
signature. Already there were spurious forgeries ( 2Th 2:2 ).
Thus each church was enabled to know that Paul wrote the letter.
If only the autograph copy could be found!
