## translationNotes
* **and I did not wish to write them with paper and ink** - This can be translated "but I did not want to write them to you in a letter."
* **face to face** - This can be translated "actually with you"
* **joy may be made full** - This can be translated "joy may be complete"
* **The children of your elect sister** - Here John compares this other church to a sister. And the believers that are a part of that church are compared to children. This emphasizes that all believers are a spiritual family. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
