2 Johannes 1:13

13 Es grüßen dich die Kinder deiner auserwählten Schwester.

2 Johannes 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 John 1:13

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.

2 Johannes 1:13 In-Context

11 Denn wer ihn grüßt, nimmt teil an seinen bösen Werken.

12 Da ich euch vieles zu schreiben habe, wollte ich es nicht mit Papier und Tinte tun, sondern ich hoffe, zu euch zu kommen und mündlich mit euch zu reden, auf daß unsere Freude völlig sei.

13 Es grüßen dich die Kinder deiner auserwählten Schwester.
