§ 12. 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28. The Conclusion
The conclusion of the Epistle is very brief. It makes no reference to the autograph signature, which the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 3:17, and in subsequent letters, is careful to notify. The request “that the Epistle be read to all the brethren” (1 Thessalonians 5:27), is its notable feature.
