  • Probably written after Revelation.
  • 2 John 1:1- Two varying interpretations here:
    • The “elect lady” is a local church. Similar language referring to the church as a lady or a bride is used elsewhere in the New Testament.
    • This was written to a particular unknown woman. Otherwise “sister,” and “children” would have to be highly figurative. Also, only individuals are “elect” in the sense of choosing to follow God - not entire churches.
  • 2 John 1:5-6
