SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:26
Saludad a todos los hermanos con ósculo santo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:26
Verse 26. Greet all the brethren] See the note on Rom. xvi. 16. Instead of all the brethren, the Coptic has, greet one another; a reading not noticed by either Griesbach or Wetstein.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss .] In opposition, to an unchaste and hypocritical one. His meaning is, that they would salute the members of the church in his name, and give his Christian love and affections to them. And his view is to recommend to them brotherly love to each other, and to stir them up to the mutual exercise of it more and more.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-28 - The apostle prays that they might be sanctified more perfectly, for the best are sanctified but in part while in this world; therefore we should pray for, and press toward, complete holiness. And as we mus fall, if God did not carry on his good work in the soul, we should pra to God to perfect his work, till we are presented faultless before the throne of his glory. We should pray for one another; and brethre should thus express brotherly love. This epistle was to be read to all the brethren. Not only are the common people allowed to read the Scriptures, but it is their duty, and what they should be persuaded to do. The word of God should not be kept in an unknown tongue, but transplanted, that as all men are concerned to know the Scriptures, s they all may be able to read them. The Scriptures should be read in all public congregations, for the benefit of the unlearned especially. We need no more to make us happy, than to know the grace of our Lord Jesu Christ. He is an ever-flowing and an over-flowing fountain of grace to supply all our wants __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:26 {With a holy kiss} (en filemati hagiwi). With a kiss that is holy (Milligan) a token of friendship and brotherly love (#1Co 16:20; 2Co 13:12; Ro 16:16). In #1Pe 5:14 it is "with a kiss of love." this was the customary salutation for rabbis.
