ACC ~ 2 John 1 v13

UNITED IN BAPTISM. HILARY OF ARLES: John unites the leaders of the churches in peace because they are sisters in the faith of the church and daughters of God by baptism. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 JOHN.

GREETINGS TO THE FAITHFUL. BEDE: On the one hand John forbids us to greet the enemies of the truth, but on the other he salutes the elect. This is so that unbelievers will be shunned by all good people, unless they happen to repent and change their views, and also so that peace and love between believers will continue to grow forever. ON 2 JOHN.

ADDRESSED TO A CHURCH. OECUMENIUS: This ending proves that John was not writing to a single individual but to a church. COMMENTARY ON 2 JOHN.
