What the Fathers say

2 John 1:13

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

Some, on the basis of these words, think to affirm that this epistle was written not to a woman, but to the Church. With him who thinks so, I do not at all argue.

Western Saints

Bede

The children of your sister, the Elect, greet you. Just as he prohibits us to greet the adversaries of the truth, so, conversely, he greets the elect on behalf of the elect, so that the faithless may be detested by all the good, possibly to correct them in this way, and that the peace and love among the faithful may always increase.
