You see with what large letters I have written unto you with my own hand.
All Commentaries on Galatians 6:11 Go To Galatians 6
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Ye see how large a letter. S. Chrysostom and Theophylact understand this to mean: You see what misshapen letters I have formed, but your love for me will excuse their imperfections. S. Augustine: Ye see how freely and openly I have written, without any fear of the Judaisers. S. Hilary, and others following him: Ye see what lofty ideas I have put before you. S. Jerome, however, thinks that the words show that up to this point S. Paul had used an amanuensis, but that from here to the end he wrote himself, to prevent any one from objecting to the genuineness of the Epistle. The best explanation is that which sees an allusion to the length of the letter, and a reference to S. Paul"s affection for the Galatians , which had made him dispense with his usual amanuensis, and write a long letter with his own hand.
