Commentary

Green's interlinear Greek New Testament Third Edition has wrong the Strong's number with 848 for 846 αὐτῆς. Zodhiates also makes this mistake in his The Complete Word Study New Testament.

Green's interlinear Greek New Testament Third Edition has wrong the Strong's number with 2588 for 3588 οἱ.

Scrivener deletes τῇ in the phrase ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, which the KJV translators used for "the" in the phrase in the truth. The NKJV following Scrivener has "in truth" omitting "the" and slightly changing the meaning.

Erasmus 1516 Annotations

IN EPISTOLAM IOANNIS SECVNDAM

Et natis) Καὶ τοῖς τέϰνοις. Cur non potius ‘filiis’? Sequitur enim οὓς, id est ‘quos’, masculino genere, cum τέϰνα sit neutri generis. Poterat vertere ‘liberis’ potius quam natis, quae vox poetarum magis est. In eo ambuletis) ῞Ινα ἐν αὐτῇ περιπατῆτε, id est ‘vt in eo ambuletis’. Sed vt eo referat mandatum non Deum.

Exierunt) Εἰσῆλϑον, id est ‘introierunt’.

Mercedem plenam accipiatis) ᾽Απολάβωμεν, id est ‘accipiamus’.

Quirecedit.) ῾Ο παραβαίνων, id est ‘qui praeterit’ Ecce praedixi vobis, vt in die Domini non confundamini.) Haec verba non inuenio in Graeco codice.
