2 Thessalonians 2:6

Context
2:6 And so 1  you know what holds him back, 2  so that he will be revealed in his own time.

2 Thessalonians 3:17

Context
3:17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter. 3 

1 tn Grk “and now,” but this shows the logical result of his previous teaching.

2 tn Grk “the thing that restrains.”

3 tn Grk “The greeting in my hand, Paul, which is a sign in every letter, thus I write.”

sn Up to 3:17 the letter was dictated by Paul but written down by a secretary or amanuensis. But Paul took up the pen and wrote vv. 17-18 personally to authenticate that it was his (how I write in every letter). See similar indications in 1 Cor 16:21; Gal 6:11; and Col 4:18.
