- 2 John 1:12
I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
Commentary on 2 John 1:122 voices
Because of the incapacity of his hearers, John did not think it right to entrust the solutions of secrets of this kind to paper and ink.
Origen of Alexandria· SERMONS ON EXODUS 4.2Patristic
Parchment was used for the permanent manuscripts in which the Epistles were preserved. Writing tablets were used merely for temporary purposes, as our slates. face to face--literally, "mouth to mouth." full--Greek, "filled full." Your joy will be complete in hearing from me in person the joyful Gospel truths which I now defer communicating till I see you.
