“I,
Paul,
Write this greeting
With my own hand.”
Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου.
Paul then declared, “I, Paul (Παύλου), write this greeting (Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς) with my own hand (τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ).” Paul must have written his own personal greeting with his own handwriting. Most of the letter was probably dictated to a secretary as he had mentioned in Romans, chapter 16:22. This was like his signature to this letter. Do you have a distinctive signature?
