2 John - 1:13 Meaning

“The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:12-13 The apostle refers many things to a personal meeting. Pen and ink were means of strengthening and comforting others; but to see each other is 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.

“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.”
