It appears that Terteo wrote this letter on behalf of someone else.…

This letter appears to have been written by Tertius.
Romans 16:22
... "I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, also greet you in the Lord."
...it says❗️
Paul seems to have had poor eyesight.
He wrote it in "such large letters."
This is an indication of his extremely poor vision.
...In common parlance,
Paul was a hero and master of faith, but...he had poor eyesight...
In 2 Corinthians 10:10
Regarding criticism of himself,
"His letters are weighty and powerful, but when you meet him in person, he is physically weak and a poor speaker."
...He also acknowledges having a "thorn" (physical weakness or illness) in his own body.

Perhaps Paul himself was physically worn out from the intense persecution and numerous difficulties he faced...🤔
I think so.

As we age, our eyesight deteriorates, our hearing worsens, our memory declines...😨 and our legs and backs weaken.
However, the Bible says...
...2 Corinthians 4:16.
"Therefore we will not be discouraged. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."
...Our inner you is being renewed daily!
...When you go to heaven, you will become eternally beautiful, eternally handsome...
Let's look forward to that and live in this world seeking God's glory!

Shalom 😄
