SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:13

Los hijos de tu hermana elegida te saludan. Amn.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 John 1:13

Verse 13. The
children of thy elect sister] Probably her own sister, who lived at Ephesus; and, being acquainted with the apostle's writing, desired to be thus remembered to her. Elect, both in this and the first verse, signifies excellent, eminent, or honourable. See on chap. 1.

Amen is wanting in the most ancient MSS., and in most of the versions; but h cariv meta sou and meq umwn, Grace be with thee, or with you, is found in several MSS. and versions.

Subscriptions in the VERSIONS:- The end of the Second Epistle.- SYRIAC.

The Second Epistle of John is ended. - Philox. SYRIAC.

Praise be to God for ever, Amen! - ARABIC.

In the MANUSCRIPTS:- The Second of John. - Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Vaticanus.

The Second of John to the Parthians. - One of Colbert's MSS.

The Second catholic Epistle of St. John the apostle and divine.

There are other subscriptions, but, like the above, they are worthy of little regard.

THIS epistle is more remarkable for the spirit of Christian love which it breathes than for any thing else. It contains scarcely any thing that is not found in the preceding; and out of the thirteen verses there are at least eight which are found, either in so many words or in sentiment, precisely the same with those of the first epistle. The most remarkable part of it is the tenth and eleventh verses, relative to the orders concerning the heretical teacher; and from them we see how such teachers were treated in the apostolic Church. They held no communion with them, afforded them no support, as teachers; but did not persecute them.

On this model the conduct of all Christians should be formed, relative to the teachers of false doctrine in general. To go thus far, we have apostolical authority, to go farther, we have none. And let us still remember, in all cases it is our duty to love even our enemies, and consequently to do them any act of humanity and mercy.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen .] Not the members of a sister church, as some think; but the children of one who was the sister of this lady, according to the flesh; and who, as she was either a very famous and excellent person, or rather one chosen of God likewise unto eternal life and salvation; and whose children also were walking in the truth, and here send their Christian salutation to their aunt; very likely those sister's children lived at Ephesus, where John resided.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12, 13 - The
apostle refers many things to a personal meeting. Pen and ink wer means of strengthening and comforting others; but to see each other i more so. The communion of saints should be maintained by all methods and should tend to mutual joy. In communion with them we find much of our present joy, and look forward to happiness for ever __________________________________________________________________
