		The Epistle's content, language and conceptual style is an indication that a common authorship existed between this letter, the two other letters attributed to the Apostle John, as well as the Gospel of John.
		Whether the author was the Apostle John himself, someone who wrote under his name and spoke "for him", or whether a body of authors contributed to the writing of all four Johannine texts is an open question.

		Of the thirteen verses composing this epistle seven are in the First Epistle.
		The language of this epistle is remarkably similar to 3 John.
		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.

	Epistles of John
		The Epistles of John are three letters in the New Testament of the Bible traditionally ascribed to Saint John the apostle.

		John addresses this letter not to the church, but to a faithful man in the church for the comfort of those who were standing fast in the primitive simplicity.

		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 reminds his readers that this is one of God's great promises to the believer (verse 25), and is the only occurrence of epaggelia (promise) in John's writings.

	Eternal Life - A Commentary on the First Epistle of John
		The First Epistle of John is a profound and powerful unfolding of the life of a Christian individual and of the Church as a whole.
		At first reading, the epistle may appear to be all sweetness and light, because it talks extensively about light and life and loving one another.
		The epistle reflects the life of a man who knew Jesus intimately and is now passing on the fruit of a lifetime of meditation and living out of the totality of the Christ experience.

	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.
		John's ministry is simply a loose structure on which to hang the pronouncements of Jesus as the channel to God, the vehicle of salvation through proper belief.
		It may be that the very latest parts of the first epistle overlap the earliest phase of the Gospel, and almost certain that references to Jesus' blood sacrifice are derived from a different line of thinking than that of the evangelist.

		John recognized that there was a cosmic conflict between God and Satan, good and evil; and that the character of either of these spiritual sources could be employed in human behavior.
		John wanted his Christian readers to understand that the character of their behavioral expressions was derived from either God or Satan, either representing or misrepresenting the One who lived in them, Jesus Christ.
		John seems to clearly indicate the diabolic etiology of all character that is not consistent with the character of God.

	The First Epistle of John (6)
		While John was an apostle of the circumcision and his ministry was primarily to Hebrew believers, he was also a minister of God's earthly kingdom purposes and this must involve the Gentile as well, otherwise this kingdom can never become world-wide.
		Although Israel are first in God's earthly kingdom purposes, as the agents who will bear the good news of this kingdom to the world, they are not first and last, and it is completely unscriptural to restrict it to the Jewish nation.
		Later on John is going to tell us that 'the whole world is under the control of the evil one' (5:19), but the triumph of calvary means the defeat of Satan and his world-wide system.

	1 John
		But a closer examination reveals a poverty of style in the first letter compared to the gospel - "the author works to death a few favorite constructions, and his vocabulary is more limited than that of the gospel" - and some real differences in thought.
		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.

	In-depth Bible Study of First Epistle of John in Six Lessons
		The Apostle John is very clear that Christians must walk in the light of God's commandments: we must not deceive ourselves into thinking and living in darkness and yet expect to have eternal life.
		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.
		John gives many solid assurances of salvation, which we can use to examine our lives to determine whether we are truly saved or in need of getting saved.

	The First General Epistle of John, New Testament Introduction: Louis Berkhof (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Fundamental words and phrases are often repeated such as "truth," "love," "light," "In the light," "being born of God," "abiding in God," etc.; and the construction is characterized by utter simplicity, the sentences being coordinated rather than subordinated, and involved sentences being avoided by the repetition of part of a previous sentence.
		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.
		Thus the Epistle describes for the Church of all ages the nature and criteria of heavenly fellowship, and warns believers to keep themselves unspotted from the world.

	1 John 1:1-4 - The Prologue Of The First Epistle Of John
		The first two words of First John may seem awkward when judged by modern English conventions: "That which" (KJV, NKJ, NIV; "what was" in the updated NASB).
		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.
		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.

		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.
		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.

	Introduction to the First Epistle of John - People's NT Commentary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		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 may be added that this epistle is repeatedly quoted in the writings of the Fathers belonging to the second century, and is named, as well as the other two Epistles of John, in the first Canon of the New Testament writings, the Canon Muratori, which belongs to the last half of the second century.

	Douay-Rheims Bible Online, First Epistle Of Saint John Chapter 5
		It is hard to determine what St. John here calls a sin which is not to death, and a sin which is unto death.
		And when he speaks of a sin that is unto death, and adds these words, for that I say not that any man ask, it cannot be supposed that St. John would say this of every mortal sin, but only of some heinous sins, which are very seldom remitted, because such sinners very seldom repent.
		By a sin therefore which is unto death, interpreters commonly understand a wilfull apostasy from the faith, and from the known truth, when a sinner, hardened by his own ingratitude, becomes deaf to all admonitions, will do nothing for himself, but runs on to a final impenitence.
