Commentary on 2 John 1:13

Theological / Devotional

Thy elect sister. These words may refer to either (1) an actual sister of an individual “elect lady” (v. 1), or (2) a sister church in the area in which John was then writing. The two ideas may be combined as in v. 1 (see comment there).

Amen. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the omission of this word.
