1 Corinthians16:20
20 All the Brethren greet you: Greet you one another with an holy kiss .
This proveth no more, than that as it is in use with us, to salute one another with a kiss when we meet; so it was in use in those Times and Countries to do the like, in token of Love and Friendship. It is called the Kiss of Love, 1 Pet. 5.14. The Apostle requireth, that in these Salutations they should have chast and holy thoughts. This seemeth to be all meant by the Holy Kiss, mentioned Rom. 16.16. 2 Cor. 13.12. 1 Thess. 5.26. and here.
