The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
All Commentaries on 2 John 1:1 Go To 2 John 1

AD 1781
The Apostle commends Electa and her family for their steadfastness in the true faith and exhorts them to persevere, lest they lose the reward of their labours. He exhorts them to love one another. But with heretics to have no society, even not to salute them. Although this Epistle is written to a particular person, yet its instructions may serve as a lesson to others, especially to those who, from their connections, situation, or condition in life, are in danger of perversion.
