2 John 1:12

German Interlinear 1979 (Interlinearübersetzung)

Vieles habend euch zu schreiben, nicht wollte ich mit Papier und Tinte, sondern ich hoffe, zu kommen zu euch und Mund zu Mund zu reden, damit unsere Freude vollkommen ist.

Was bedeutet das?

In this verse from the Bible, the author writes to a friend saying that he has many things to say but prefers not to write them all down on paper and ink. Instead, he hopes to visit his friend soon and talk in person so they can share their joy fully.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you have lots of fun stories to tell your best friend, but instead of writing them all down, you decide it would be better to meet up and chat in person because that way, both of you will enjoy the time together even more.

Historischer Hintergrund

This verse is from a letter written by John, one of Jesus' disciples, around the late first century AD. He wrote this to an unnamed church leader or possibly a community he was familiar with, encouraging personal interaction over written communication for deeper connection and joy.

Anwendung für heute

In today's digital age, where emails and texts are common, it might be tempting to rely solely on these methods of communication. However, John’s message suggests that sometimes meeting in person can enrich relationships more deeply than any text or email ever could.
