Hebrews 13:22
Bear with ( ανεχεσθε ). Present middle imperative (some MSS. have ανεχεσθα, infinitive) of ανεχω with the ablative, "hold yourselves back from" as in Col 3:13.The word of exhortation ( του λογου της παρακλησεως ). His description of the entire Epistle. It certainly is that, a powerful appeal in fact.
I have written ( επεστειλα ). First aorist active indicative (epistolary aorist) of επιστελλω, old word to send a letter ( επιστολη ) as in Ac 15:20.
In few words ( δια βραχεων ). Common Greek idiom, here only in N.T. (from βραχυς, brief, short). Cf. δι' ολιγων εγραψα in 1Pe 5:12.
