SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:17

Salud de mi mano, Pablo, que es signo en todas mis cartas: así escribo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 3:17

Verse 17. The
salutation of Paul with mine own hand] It is very likely that Paul employed an amanuensis generally, either to write what he dictated, or to make a fair copy of what he wrote. In either case the apostle always subscribed it, and wrote the salutation and benediction with his own hand; and this was what authenticated all his epistles. A measure of this kind would be very necessary if forged epistles were carried about in those times. See the note on 1 Cor. xvi. 21, and see Col. iv. 18.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. The
salutation of Paul with mine own hand , &c.] In writing his epistles, the body and substance of them he used an amanuensis, but the salutation he wrote with his own hand: which is the token in every epistle ; by which they might be known to be true and genuine, and be distinguished from counterfeit ones: and the rather he mentions this, that they might be troubled neither by word, nor by spirit, nor by epistle, as from them, as they had been, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:2) for it seems that this wicked practice of counterfeiting the epistles of the apostles, or carrying about spurious ones, under their name, began so early; to prevent which, the apostle took this method, so I write , as follows:

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16-18 - The
apostle prays for the Thessalonians. And let us desire the sam blessings for ourselves and our friends. Peace with God. This peace i desired for them always, or in every thing. Peace by all means; in every way; that, as they enjoyed the means of grace, they might use all methods to secure peace. We need nothing more to make us safe an happy, nor can we desire any thing better for ourselves and ou friends, than to have God's gracious presence with us and them. N matter where we are, if God be with us; nor who is absent, if God be present. It is through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that we hop to have peace with God, and to enjoy the presence of God. This grace is all in all to make us happy; though we wish ever so much to others there remains enough for ourselves __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

17. The
salutation of Paul with mine own hand (aspasmov th emh ceiri Paulou). Rev. properly, "the salutation of me Paul." The genitive of me is contained, according to a familiar Greek idiom, in the possessive pronoun my. Paul had apparently been employing an amanuensis.

In every epistle. Comp. 1 Cor. xvi. 21; Col. iv. 18.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

3:17 {Of me Paul with mine own hand} (tei emei ceiri paulou). Instrumental case ceiri. Note genitive paulou in apposition with possessive idea in the possessive pronoun emei. Paul had dictated the letter, but now wrote the salutation in his hand. {The token in every epistle} (semeion en pasei epistolei). 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!
