Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes the importance of seizing every chance to perform acts of kindness, particularly towards fellow believers. It underscores that genuine goodness should be a consistent practice, reflecting Christ's love and encouraging unity within the Christian community.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 11. Ye see. This might be rendered see, in the imperative. So Tindal renders it, "Behold." But it is more commonly supposed that it should be rendered in the indicative. The sense is not materially different, whichever translation is adopted. The object of the apostle is to direct their attention to the special proof of his love, which he had manifested in writing such a letter. How large a letter. Considerable variety has existed in regard to the interpretation of this phrase. The word here used and translated how large phlikoiv means, properly, how great.
