Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Pet 5:14

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1Pet 5:14 · Douay-Rheims
“Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.”
On this verse:
“Whereas Paul writes (Rom. 16:16; 1 Cor. 16:20) that believers should greet one another "with a holy kiss," Peter says: greet one another "with a kiss of love." But the thought of both is one and the same. Paul knows that love in the Lord is greater than all virtues, even martyrdom for Christ, and therefore calls holy the kiss that is given in God. And Peter, when he speaks of a kiss of love, means: of true love.”
