Paul ended all of his epistles with "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." In his second letter to the Thessalonians (3:17-18) Paul says that the token or sign that he puts in all of his letters is the way he signs at the end. You will notice that Hebrews ends with Paul's token or sign: "Grace be with you all. Amen." Just for your own enlightenment, take a look at the ending of all the other writers of the New Testament. You will find that only Paul ends his epistles with the admonishment of "Grace be with you. Amen." Take a closer look at the way that Paul ends the Romans epistle at 16:20. It is with this token or sign and then Tertius writes a portion at the closing and ends again it with Paul's short statement and token (16:21-27). |
