I would not write--A heart full of love pours itself out more freely face to face, than by letter. paper--made of Egyptian papyrus. Pens were then reeds split. ink--made of soot and water, thickened with gum. 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. On other occasions his writing the glad truths was for the same purpose.

With an adjournment of many things to personal conference: 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. Here it is supposed that some things are better spoken than written. The use of pen and ink may be a mercy and a pleasure; but a personal interview may be more so. The apostle was not yet too old for travel, nor consequently for travelling service. The communion of saints should be by all methods maintained; and their communion should tend to their mutual joy. Excellent ministers may have their joy advanced by their Christian friends. That I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me, Rom 1:12. 2. With the presentation of service and salutation from some near relations to the lady: The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Grace was abundant towards this family; here are two elect sisters, and probably their elect children. How will they admire this grace in heaven! The apostle condescends to insert the nieces' duty (as we should call it), or dutiful salutation, to their aunt. The duty of inferior relations is to be cherished. Doubtless the apostle was easy of access, and would admit all friendly and pious communication, and was ready to enhance the good lady's joy in her nieces as well as in her children. May there by many such gracious ladies rejoicing in their gracious descendants and other relations! Amen.
افتح المصدر ↗1:12 Our English idiom face to face has the same meaning as the Greek idiom used here (literally mouth to mouth; see also 3 Jn 1:14). • Then our joy will be complete: Our relationship with Christ is not merely a private experience; we experience the fullest joy in harmonious fellowship with other believers.

«إِنَّ لِي أُمُورًا كَثِيرَةً أَيْضًا لأَقُولَ لَكُمْ، وَلكِنْ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا الآنَ.
فَعِنْدَمَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَى اسْبَانِيَا آتِي إِلَيْكُمْ. لأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ فِي مُرُورِي وَتُشَيِّعُونِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، إِنْ تَمَلاَّءْتُ أَوَّلاً مِنْكُمْ جُزْئِيًّا.
وَنَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هذَا لِكَيْ يَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ كَامِلاً.
فَمًا إِلَى فَمٍ وَعَيَانًا أَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ، لاَ بِالأَلْغَازِ. وَشِبْهَ الرَّبِّ يُعَايِنُ. فَلِمَاذَا لاَ تَخْشَيَانِ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَا عَلَى عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟».
أَمَّا الآنَ فَإِنِّي آتِي إِلَيْكَ. وَأَتَكَلَّمُ بِهذَا فِي الْعَالَمِ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ فَرَحِي كَامِلاً فِيهِمْ.
كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهذَا لِكَيْ يَثْبُتَ فَرَحِي فِيكُمْ وَيُكْمَلَ فَرَحُكُمْ.
وَلكِنْ أَطْلُبُ أَكْثَرَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا هذَا لِكَيْ أُرَدَّ إِلَيْكُمْ بِأَكْثَرِ سُرْعَةٍ.
مُشْتَاقًا أَنْ أَرَاكَ، ذَاكِرًا دُمُوعَكَ لِكَيْ أَمْتَلِئَ فَرَحًا،
إِلَى الآنَ لَمْ تَطْلُبُوا شَيْئًا بِاسْمِي. اُطْلُبُوا تَأْخُذُوا، لِيَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ كَامِلاً.
اِعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُطْلِقَ الأَخُ تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، الَّذِي مَعَهُ سَوْفَ أَرَاكُمْ، إِنْ أَتَى سَرِيعًا.
