The children of a sister to whom the letter was addressed resided at

1 It is a striking fact that John never appeals to his apostleship in
his epistles. In this short note, as well as in the next one, he is
simply an elder. This accords with the private character of th...

probably written when the Apostle was the guest of the nephews of the
lady addressed. The Epistle revolves...
