• The more such a soul believed Him to be the promised One, the less could it be conceived that He should quit the scene which He had come to bless. (“John 13” by W. Kelly)
• To His own there is a title of endearment; and if He was to be but a little with them, they were to seek Him. Heaven, however, was in no way accessible to man like the earth, of whose dust his body was made. Christ came from God, and went to God, as He will come by and by and receive us to Himself, that where He is, there we may be also. But no more is the Christian able to go there than any other man; Christ alone can bring any therein, as He will surely do with His own at His coming. (“John 13” by W. Kelly)

WK Translation Notes

a
Or, "dear children." It seems preferable to render this term teknia generally "dear children." For tekna all translate as "children"; and "little children" (paidia) is appropriated in {vi 30565}{/vi} and 18 to the third class of the "dear children" or teknia, which is the general designation of all the three classes, and so runs through the Epistle. Hence "children" in {vi 30581-30582}{/vi} includes all the family. We are all called "children of God," and we are so now; and it is a mistake to say "sons" of God, though we are also His sons. But here it is expressly "children" of God, not sons adopted but born of God, and so His children. But teknia is a diminutive term closely connected with "children"; and the reason for its use is as an expression of affection; as when a parent, not content to say to his little one "my dear," calls it "my dearie." It is meant for fondness of expression. This illustrates its force here; and therefore it seems best to say "dear children," in order to distinguish from "children" (tekna) on the one hand, and the little children or babes (paidia) on the other.
