Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en kyrio {ἐν κυρίῳ | en kyríō} functions as a dative of sphere, indicating that this relationship of love and recognition exists within the realm of their shared allegiance to the Lord. In translation, the imperative force of aspasasthe is preserved either with a direct command (“Greet”) or a slightly expanded communal expression (“Give my warm greetings”), while the phrase “my beloved in the Lord” is kept close to the Greek structure so that both Paul’s affection and the Christ-centered context remain explicit.
