Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13, 14 - Here is the character of Demetrius. A name in the gospel, or a goo report in the churches, is better than worldly honour. Few are wel spoken of by all; and sometimes it is ill to be so. Happy those whose spirit and conduct commend them before God and men. We must be ready to bear our testimony to them; and it is well when those who commend, can appeal to the consciences of such as know most of those who ar commended. A personal conversation together often spares time an trouble, and mistakes which rise from letters; and good Christians ma well be glad to see one another. The blessing is, Peace be to you; all happiness attend you. Those may well salute and greet one another of earth, who hope to live together in heaven. By associating with an copying the example of such Christians, we shall have peace within, an live at peace with the brethren; our communications with the Lord' people on earth will be pleasing, and we shall be numbered with them in glory everlasting __________________________________________________________________
