• Paul had written this letter with his own hand—an unusual thing for him. He generally employed others (as Tertius for the Epistle to the Romans), dictating to them that which he wished to say, adding the benediction with his own hand, as certifying the correctness of that which was written (1 Cor. 16:21; 2 Thess. 3:17).

a
The Revisers are right in saying "with how large letters," (grammasin). Had Paul meant to say "how long, or large, a letter," as in the KJV, etc., the proper Greek would be (grammata). The words used expresses the length of the letters, not of the letter, which is by no means long. In large uncouth letters he wrote the entire Epistle.
b
It is the epistolary aorist, which in our idiom means "I write."
