The Pulpit Commentary on Hebrews 13:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

But I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. This and the following verse are in the manner of a postscript, such as is usual with St.

Paul. Some little apprehension is implied (of. Hebrews 13:18) of the admonitions not being taken well by all. Though the Epistle is not short as compared with others, yet it has been compressed with as "few words" as the subject would allow (cf.

Hebrews 13:11). If, however, this concluding portion of the Epistle was written or dictated by St. Paul himself, as suggested under Hebrews 13:19, the "few words" may possibly refer to it only.
