Fußnoten
(a)1:4
No greater grace: that is nothing that gives me greater joy and satisfaction.(Challoner)
(b)1:7 The term ‘Gentiles’ in this context refers, not to Christians who were not formerly Jews, but to unbelievers.(Conte)
(c)1:7
Taking nothing of the Gentiles: These ministers of the gospel are commended by St. John, who took nothing from the Gentiles, lest they should seem to preach in order to get money by it.(Challoner)
(d)1:9 John addresses this letter to an individual, Gaius, because a troublemaker in the Church was making it ineffective for him to write directly to the Church in that city.(Conte)
(e)1:9
Diotrephes who loves: This man seems to be in power, but not a friend to the faithful; therefore this part of the letter might be an admonition to him from the apostle.(Challoner)
(f)1:13 It seems to me that John is not willing to trust everything to writing because there are troublemakers within the Church he is writing to, who might distort what he is saying, or who might not deliver it. Letters in past times were often hand delivered by some trusted person who was traveling to the same place. John seems to lack the ability to send someone who would be widely accepted to that Church.(Conte)
