What the Fathers say

2 John 1:2

Eastern Fathers

Oecumenius

But where he said: "what abides in us," that is, what is true and firm, he added: "And it will be with us forever." (1 Jn. 3:24) Signifying the certain perseverance of the gift. For it happens that even those who have been confirmed in something are shaken again, because they have not rightly used the confirmation.

Western Saints

Bede

For the truth's sake, which dwells in us, etc. He says, we love you and yours for no other reason than for the truth of the faith, which always remains invincible in us, for we find that you also invincibly guard the same.
