2 John 1:12–13

12, 13 A letter is no substitute for personal fellowship. John hopes to share with his readers the mutual encouragement that can only take place in person. He closes by bringing greetings from one Christian community to another, a common practice in apostolic letters and a reminder of Christian unity.
