Hebrews 13:22

Benediction, Final Exhortation, Farewell

20 Now may ^athe God of peace ^bwho brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, ^cthat great Shepherd of the sheep, ^dthrough the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 make you¹ complete in every good work to do His will, ^aworking in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

22 And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

24 Greet all those who¹ rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

Bear with (anexesqe). Present middle imperative (some MSS. have anexesqai, infinitive) of anexw with the ablative, "hold yourselves back from" as in Colossians 3:13.

The word of exhortation (tou logou thv paraklhsewv). His description of the entire Epistle. It certainly is that, a powerful appeal in fact.

I have written (epesteila). First aorist active indicative (epistolary aorist) of epistellw, old word to send a letter (epistolh) as in Acts 15:20.

In few words (dia braxewn). Common Greek idiom, here only in N.T. (from braxuv, brief, short). Cf. di oligwn egraya in I Peter 5:12.
