THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS

15 Reasons Why Paul Is The Writer Of Hebrews

James Utter

1. Hebrews is Paul's grand letter to the Jews like Romans is his magnificent letter to the Gentiles.

2. Paul was not only the apostle to the Gentiles but he was an apostle to the Jews also.

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me,
to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: (Acts 9:15)

3. The detailed content demonstrates an extremely knowledgeable Hebrew Christian and Paul fits this strict requirement.

... an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; ... But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: ... And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: (Philippians 3:5-9)

4. Paul is the traditionally accepted author.

5. Paul is the most commonly accepted author and it cannot be shown he is not the author.

6. The title in the printed Received Greek Text shows Paul as the author.

7. The title in the Authorized Version has attributed Paul as the author for over 400 years.

8. Paul had a great love for the Jews. He had the motivational love to write this letter.

For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites... (Romans 9:3-4)

9. 2 Peter 3:15 indicates Paul wrote to the same Hebrew Christians in the Diaspora that Peter wrote to.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; (2 Peter 3:15)

10. Paul did not sign his name giving full attention to the Lord.

11. Paul did not sign his name so as not to distract Jewish readers from the gospel of Christ.

12. Of those men named in Scripture, Paul is the best one suited write the letter.

13. Paul was in prison such as in 10:34.

14. Timothy, Paul's fellow helper in ministry is named in 13:23.

15. Paul ends Hebrews the way he ends all his letters, with grace (his “trademark”).

Grace be with you all. Amen.(Hebrews 13:25) See II Thessalonians 3:17-18
