Hebrews 13:22

But I exhort you brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written to you in few words.

I exhort you brethren is equivalent to "I beseech you therefore brethren," that being the way Paul began the exhortation in Romans 12:1. The "few words" applied to the entire epistle, called here delicately (by paraphrase) a little exhortation! The strong Pauline cast of this whole chapter was noted in the introduction; and the whole thrust of this part of Hebrews is so strongly marked by the familiar style, personality and theology of the great apostle to the Gentiles that no translation can obscure it. It is as though one were reading an extension of the book of Romans, or some other of Paul's epistles. Let them deny it who will, it is not amiss, as did Milligan, to draw the analogy thus:

In this, as in many other instances, we see the very delicate, gentle, and masterly touches of Paul's pen; who being himself the apostle to the Gentiles, and somewhat estranged from his Hebrew brethren, deals with these as gently as the case would permit.[8]
