2 Juan 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 John 1:3

Grace be with you, mercy [and] peace
This form of salutation, or wish and prayer for the blessings mentioned,

from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ,
is the same used by other apostles; see ( 1 Timothy 1:2 ) ( Jude 1:2 ) and (See Gill on Romans 1:7). Only it is added here with respect to Christ, that he is

the Son of the Father in truth and love;
which is mentioned by the apostle to confirm the deity of Christ, which is plainly implied in wishing for the above things equally from him, as from the Father; and to oppose and confront some heretics of those times, who denied the true and proper sonship of Christ; and therefore he calls him, "the Son of the Father", the only begotten of the Father; and that "in truth", or truly and properly, and not in a figurative and metaphorical sense, as magistrates are called the sons of God, and children of the most High, by reason of their office; but so is not Christ, he is God's own Son, in a true, proper, and natural sense: and he is so "in love"; he is his well beloved Son, his dear Son, the Son of his love; as he cannot otherwise be; since he is not only the image of him, but of the same nature, and has the same perfections with him.

2 Juan 1:3 In-Context

1 El anciano a la señora elegida y a sus hijos, a los cuales yo amo en verdad y no yo solo, sino también todos los que han conocido la verdad,
2 por la verdad que permanece en nosotros, y será perpetuamente con nosotros:
3 Sea con vosotros gracia, misericordia, y paz de Dios Padre, y del Señor Jesús, el Cristo, Hijo del Padre, en verdad y caridad.
4 Mucho me he gozado, porque he hallado de tus hijos, que andan en la verdad, como nosotros hemos recibido el mandamiento del Padre.
5 Y ahora te ruego, señora, (no como escribiéndote un nuevo mandamiento, sino aquel que nosotros hemos tenido desde el principio), que nos amemos unos a otros.
