Second Epistle of John
This Epistle is written more like a letter from the Apostle to an "elect lady". Of course who the elect lady is no one knows. Perhaps she is representative of the church or is a lady whom John knew. Within the letter John warns about opening home to false teachers and to always practice truth avoiding secrecy.

Famous quotes containing the word john:
“Reprehension is a kind of middle thing betwixt admonition and correction: it is sharpe admonition, but a milde correction. It is rather to be used because it may be a meanes to prevent strokes and blowes, especially in ingenuous and good natured children. [Blows are] the last remedy which a parent can use: a remedy which may doe good when nothing else can.”
—William Gouge, Puritan writer. As quoted in The Rise and Fall of Childhood by C. John Sommerville, ch. 11 (rev. 1990)
