If there come any [ε ι τ ι ς ε ρ χ ε τ α ι]. Better, Rev., if anyone cometh. The indicative mood assumes the fact : if anyone comes, as there are those that come. Cometh is used in an official sense as of a teacher. See on 1 John 3:5.

Bring [φ ε ρ ε ι]. For the use of the verb see John 18:29; Acts 25:18; 2 Peter 2:11; 2 Peter 1:17; 2 Peter 1:18; 1 Peter 1:13.

Neither bid him God speed [κ α ι χ α ι ρ ε ι ν α υ τ ω μ η λ ε γ ε τ ε]. Lit., and say not unto him "greeting!" Cairein rejoice, hail, was the customary form of salutation. It was also used in bidding farewell; but in the New Testament always of greeting (Acts 14:23; Acts 23:26; James 1:1). 70 "Now whoever cometh and teacheth you all these things, before spoken, receive him; but if the teacher himself turn aside and teach another teaching, so as to overthrow this, do not hear him" (" Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, " ch. 11. See on Matthew 10:10).
