English · Claude translation

Further, about the Letter to the Hebrews, he discusses this in his homilies on it: “That the character of the style of the letter entitled To the Hebrews does not have the apostle's rudeness in speech, who confessed himself to be rude in speech, that is, in expression, but that the letter is more Greek in the composition of its style, everyone who knows how to judge differences of expression would agree.
