I hope (elpizō) - We shall speak (lalēsomen). Literary plural really singular like elpizō.

Face to face (stoma pros stoma). As in 2Jo 1:12.

Peace to thee (eirēnē soi). Pax tibi like the Jewish greeting shalōm (Luk 10:5; Luk 24:36; Joh 20:19, Joh 20:21).

The friends (hoi philoi). Those in Ephesus.

By name (kat' onoma). John knew the friends in the church (at Pergamum or wherever it was) as the good shepherd calls his sheep by name (Joh 10:3, the only other N.T. example of kat' onoma). The idiom is common in the papyri letters (Deissmann, Light, etc., p. 193, note 21).
