All Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 5:26 Go To 1 Thessalonians 5
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Oh! What fervor! Oh! What mad passion is here! Because being absent he could not greet them with the kiss, he greets them through others, as when we say, Kiss him for me. So also do ye yourselves retain the fire of love. For it does not admit of distances, but even through long intervening ways it extends itself, and is everywhere present.
