	The Epistle of Second John
		The distinction between Second and Third John is the use of the metaphor of a woman and her children in Second John to describe the church and its members.
		John addresses this letter to "the chosen lady and her children." Noting this, we must immediately ask whether John is directing this to a specific "lady and her children," or perhaps this is a metaphor for the church and its members.
		John uses the term "chosen" (eklektos) to describe the "lady and her children" to remind the readers that they were "elected" or "chosen" in Christ prior to the foundation of the world (Eph.1:4).

		The purpose of 1 John was to assure its readers of their salvation -- the purpose of 2 and 3 John seems to have been to assure the faithful remnant of their salvation and to publicly condemn by name (3 John) those who had lost theirs.
		The style of all the epistles is remarkably similar suggesting a common authorship, and is so similar to the Gospel of John as well that it is likely, from the internal evidence alone, that the gospel and the epistles were written by one man or school.

	JFB Commentary on 3rd John - Introduction
		That John, the beloved disciple, was the author of the Second and Third Epistles, as of the First Epistle, appears from IRENÆUS [Against Heresies, 1.16.3], who quotes 2Jo 1:10,11; and in [3.16.8], he quotes 2Jo 1:7, mistaking it, however, as if occurring in First John.
		The Second and Third Epistles of John, from their brevity (which ORIGEN notices), and the private nature of their contents, were less generally read in the earliest Christian assemblies and were also less quoted by the Fathers; hence arose their non-universal recognition at the first.
		TO WHOM ADDRESSED.--The Third Epistle is directed to Gaius or Caius; whether Gaius of Macedonia (Ac 19:20), or Gaius of Corinth (Ro 16:23 1Co 1:14), or Gaius of Derbe (Ac 20:4), it is hard to decide.

		John wrote to "the chosen lady." It appears that this is a personification of a church and not a literal lady.
		John says, "and this is love, that we walk according to His commandments." The real test of faith and love comes in the application.
		John cautions "watch yourselves" because it would be possible to "lose what we have accomplished." One writer, who believes it is impossible to fall from grace, said these people were in danger of losing "part of the reward at the judgment seat of Christ." But John says nothing about losing a part of anything.

		Still his own opinion was that the two minor Epistles were genuine, remarking, as he does in Demonstration of the Gospel [3.5], that in John's "Epistles" he does not mention his own name, nor call himself an apostle or evangelist, but an "elder" (2Jo 1:1 3Jo 1:1).
		John outlived all the rest of the apostles so it would be natural for him to stress his great age.

		In this Second Epistle, which we are studying today, he called himself "the elder." In the Third Epistle which we shall study next, he called himself likewise "the elder." So, in reality, he did not actually sign his name to his first four books.
		The addressor refers to himself as the "elder." John was one of the original apostles and he was also an elder.
		John wrote this letter to "the elect lady and her children." I wonder of she was married to an unsaved man and, if so, who would the children follow?

		It would seem that II John was written to this very community, but at an earlier date than I John (since the false teachers, the "Gnostics," evidently still had access to the church in II John, but had seceded from it in I John).
		By the time that John is subsequently in exile on the isle of Patmos, Ephesus was prominent as the first of the seven churches in Revelation for which Jesus includes a report card.

	Sunday, September 21, 1997, The Third Epistle Of John
		INTRODUCTION: John wrote three epistles: the first one to Christians in general; the second one to an individual, an unnamed lady; and this third one to a Christian gentleman, Gaius.
		The first is Gaius in verse 1; the second is Diotrephes in verse 9; and the third is Demetrius in verse 12.
		In Acts 20:4, we find the second Gaius, who was one of the men who accompanied Paul from Europe to Asia: "These accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe." Derbe was a city in Asia in the province of Lycaonia (Acts 14:6).

		That John, the beloved disciple, was the author of the Second and Third Epistles, as of the First Epistle, appears from IRENÆUS [Against Heresies, 1.16.3], who quotes 2Jo 10, 11; and in [3.16.8], he quotes 2Jo 7, mistaking it, however, as if occurring in First John.
		The second "of Christ" is omitted in the oldest manuscripts, but is understood in the sense.
		POLYCARP, the disciple of John, told contemporaries of IRENÆUS, who narrates the story on their authority, that on one occasion when John was about to bathe, and heard that Cerinthus, the heretic, was within, he retired with abhorrence, exclaiming, Surely the house will fall in ruins since the enemy of the truth is there.
