{A faithful work} (piston). Either thus or "thou makest
sure," after an example in Xenophon quoted by Wettstein (poiein
pista) and parallel to kaina poie(935c) in Re 21:5 . But it is not
certain. {In whatsoever thou doest} (ho ean ergas(8869)).
Indefinite relative with modal ean (=an) and the first aorist
middle subjunctive of ergazomai. See Col 3:23 for both
poie(935c) and ergazomai in the same sentence. {And strangers
withal} (kai touto xenous). "And that too" (accusative of
general reference as in 1Co 6:6 Php 1:28 Eph 2:8 ). This
praise of hospitality ( Ro 12:13 1Pe 4:9 1Ti 3:2 5:10 Tit
1:8 Heb 13:2 ) shows that in 2Jo 1:10 John has a peculiar case
in mind.
