| | Second Epistle of John - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Of the thirteen verses composing this epistle seven are in the First Epistle. | | | The Second Epistle of John (normally just called 2nd John or 2 John) is a book of the Bible New Testament. | | | It is therefore the scholarly consensus that the same man wrote both of these letters, although it has been doubted that he also wrote the Gospel of John, the First Epistle, or Revelation. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistles of Saint John |
| | Trent's is the first certain ecumenical decree, whereby the Church established the Canon of Scripture. | | | The argument from Polycarp's use of I John is strengthened by the fact that he was, according to Irenæus, the disciple of St. John. | | | We consider, with St. Jerome, that the letter is addressed to a particular church, which St. John urges on to faith in Jesus Christ, to the avoidance of heretics, to love. |

| | The First Epistle of John (3) |
| | John goes on to say that it is because of this full knowledge that he is writing to them (verse 20) and from this they know that no lie comes from the truth. | | | John has 'the last day' seven times in the Gospel. | | | John is the only New Testament writer who uses this word for the great world dictator and deceiver of the end time, who is so conspicuous in the Book of The Revelation. |

| | The Epistle of First John |
| | John begins the Epistle of 1John in the same manner as the Gospel of John, by proclaiming that Jesus was there in the beginning. | | | The Epistle of First John can be considered to be a commentary or supplement to the Gospel of John. | | | In the Gospel, John wrote, 'these are written so that you may believe' (John 20:31), and in the Epistle of 1John, he wrote, 'these are written so that you may know you have eternal life' (1John 5:13). |

| | The First Epistle of John (1) |
| | It is generally accepted that the Epistles of John and the fourth Gospel are by the same writer. | | | Doubtless John had in mind the enemies of the truth, the Gnostics, who denied the deity and the humanity of the Lord Jesus, and so were walking in the darkness of error and unbelief even though they professed to know all the truth of God. | | | In this first verse, three senses are appealed to, hearing, sight, and touch, which combine to show the reality of Christ's humanity, and so a blow is struck in the opening verses against the Docetic Gnostics, who denied that He had a literal body because all matter was considered to be evil. |

| | A Solution to the First Epistle of John |
| | It is too great an anomaly to have the first refer to the manifestation of the prophetic voice and the latter two refer back to supposed events in the life of the Gospel Jesus, a story studiously ignored throughout the epistle. | | | In the same way, the phrase in 1 John 2:22 declares that Jesus, a given spiritual figure and Son of God, is the Anointed One, the Messiah of God's promise (a declaration which would not have fitted popular Jewish conception). | | | As part of the argument for stratification in 1 John, we will bring in the question of what were the views of the dissidents who are attacked in the letter as liars and antichrists, and whether they are the same throughout the epistle. |

| | 1 John 1:1-4 - The Prologue Of The First Epistle Of John |
| | John reminds his readers: "that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His son Jesus Christ." Jesus (the Word of life) was preached by the apostolic witnesses and recorded in written form. | | | His manifestation on earth is the next part of John's lead statement: "the life was manifested." This is commonly called the "incarnation." Deity became flesh and His presence on earth was directly witnessed by men like John who heard Him, saw Him and touched Him. | | | Christ's eternal existence is affirmed by John, in the expression "was from the beginning." In harmony with this, Jesus Christ is "that eternal life which was with the Father." Jesus had an existence as deity before creation, during creation, from creation and currently! |

| | The 2nd Epistle Of John (February 23, 2003) |
| | The Gospel of John was written to the world at large for this express purpose: "These things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name" (John 20:31). | | | II John was written to a lady, who is not named, and to her children, thus it is a personal letter. | | | The Gospel of John was written for sinners that they might read it and believe it, and believing it they might have everlasting life. |

| | The First General Epistle of John, New Testament Introduction: Louis Berkhof |
| | Polycarp and Papias, both disciples of John, used it, and Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp, directly ascribes it to John. | | | The abiding significance of this important Epistle is, that it pictures us ideally the community of believers, as a community of life in fellowship with Christ, mediated by the word of the apostles, which is the Word of life. | | | The only remaining question is, whether the Epistle was written prior to the Gospel, (Bleek, Huther, Reuss, Weiss), or the Gospel prior to the Epistle (DeWette, Ewald, Guericke, Alford, Plummer). |

| | 1 John |
| | In the gospel of John the main thrust is toward the denail of the hope of the parousia, on the grounds that the first coming of Jesus was the decisive event and no further coming, no further judgment, is to be expected (3:16-21, 36, and elsewhere). | | | Similarly with the sacraments: the gospel as a whole puts its major emphasis on the idea that men are brought to faith by their response to the church's proclamation (3:31-36 and elsewhere), and has no particular concern for the sacraments. | | | The author of the letter has a strong hope for the future, a version of the traditional Christian hope for the parousia (2:17, 18, 28; 3:2, 3; 4:17), and he has a great interest in the sacraments of the church (2:12, 20, 27; 3:9; 5:1, 6). |

| | THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE FIRST EPISTLE OF JOHN |
| | John was so saturated with the Holy Ghost that, like the Holy Ghost, who never witnesses of Himself, He was constantly thinking of Jesus, and witnessing of Him. | | | John does not say we shall overcome, but he says we have overcome them, because He that is in us is "greater than he that is in the world." "Hethat is in us" has already conquered, and He leads us on to His own victory. | | | One is impressed with the limited number of direct references to the Holy Ghost in the great epistle of the beloved disciple in comparison with his references to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. |

| | In-depth Bible Study of First Epistle of John in Six Lessons |
| | One of John's concerns for God's children is that we be warned about the spirit of deception, the spirit of antichrist, which afflicted the Church from the beginning and is still active today to deceive many away from God and from eternal life. | | | This is a 6-part Bible study of the First Epistle of John. | | | In closing this epistle (and our course), Chapter 5 emphasizes the central issue of life as being a true heart-felt belief in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. |

| | Introduction to the First Epistle of John - People's NT Commentary |
| | This Epistle was written by John, the son of Zebedee, the beloved Disciple, an Apostle of Jesus Christ. | | | Like the Gospel by the same writer, the Epistle does not mention the name of its author, and we are indebted for the knowledge of the authorship to the uniform testimony of the early church, as well as to the similarity of thought and expression of the Gospel and the Epistle. | | | It was probably written when John remained as the only survivor of the apostolic band, after his gospel, and when certain heresies began to assume form. |

| | Jude, who wrote the Catholic Epistle, the brother of the sons of Joseph, and very religious, whilst knowing the near relationship of the Lord, yet did not say that he himself was His brother. | | | He establishes in this Epistle that the following out of the faith is not without charity, and so that no one divide Jesus Christ; but only to believe that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. | | | The second Epistle of John, which is written to Virgins, is very simple. |

| | USCCB - NAB - 1 John 1 |
| | [1-4] There is a striking parallel to the prologue of the gospel of John (John 1:1-18), but the emphasis here is not on the preexistent Word but rather on the apostles' witness to the incarnation of life by their experience of the historical Jesus. | | | He is the Word of life (1 John 1:1; cf John 1:4), the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible (1 John 1:2; cf John 1:14), and was heard, seen, looked upon, and touched by the apostles. | | | with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ, with those who receive their witness (1 John 1:3; John 1:14, 16). |
