[[Image:PaulT.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Valentin de Boulogne]]'s depiction of "Saint Paul Writing His Epistles", 16th century (Blaffer Foundation Collection, [[Houston]], [[Texas]]). [[Joseph Barber Lightfoot|Lightfoot]] notes with respect to verse 6:11 that at this point "the apostle takes the pen from his [[amanuensis]], and the concluding paragraph is written with his own hand".<ref>Lightfoot continues, "From the time when letters began to be forged in his name ({{bibleverse|2|Thessalonians|2:2}}; {{bibleverse|2|Thessalonians|3:17}}) it seems to have been his practice to close with a few words in his own handwriting, as a precaution against such forgeries...  In the present case he writes a whole paragraph, summing up the main lessons of the epistle in terse, eager, disjointed sentences. He writes it, too, in large, bold characters (Gr. ''pelikois grammasin''), that his handwriting may reflect the energy and determination of his soul." [[Joseph Barber Lightfoot]], ''Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians''.</ref>]]
