2 John 1 :12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
These last two verses John is telling the people he has been speaking to that he will not write to them anymore but that he would rather come and see them. It is good to write to fellow believers from time to time but being in fellowship with other believers is more fulfilling. When believers uphold the biblical standards for fellowship, the result is genuine joy among believers because the truths of the Word are maintained. As he ends this he refers to woman like he did at the beginning of this chapter. It lets us know to that she had children so she was a mother and we know from experience today that a lot mothers are responsible for their families being close to God. Let us always be ready to encourage those that are believers in our families and our church families so we can stay strong in the Lord.
