About the Letters of John Quiz

The three letters of John come from an elder writing to churches shaken by teachers who denied that Jesus had come in the flesh. 1 John is a pastoral letter about walking in the light, confessing sin, loving one another and knowing that we have eternal life, and it says simply that God is love. 2 John, written to the chosen lady and her children, warns against welcoming false teachers. 3 John, written to Gaius, praises his hospitality and rebukes Diotrephes, who loved to be first. This quiz covers all three letters, and every answer comes with the chapter and verse.
