Exegesis
The prepositional phrase dia brachéōn {διὰ βραχέων | diá brachéōn} ‘in few words’ expresses the manner of writing, modifying the aorist epesteila {ἐπέστειλα | epésteila} ‘I have written’, while the dative hymin {ὑμῖν | hymîn} ‘to you’ marks the recipients. This structure links the instruction to endure the exhortation with the rationale grounded in the letter’s brevity.
