First Epistle of John
Scripture · Epistle · c. 90–100 · Greek
God is light and God is love: the elder's letter against those who deny the Son came in the flesh. Its tests — right confession, obedience, love of the brethren — became the church's own tests for every later heresy.
To: the community of the beloved disciple
