There is a lot of repetition in this letter.
There is a lot of repetition in this letter.
Oh, how funny! Seriously though, there is, and we discussed the reasons that this is so. This is a literary device that John did not invent and certainly one that continues to be used until now. It serves a purpose. So, it wasn't just that John was given an assignment to write an essay with a certain number of words, and he was padding.
If you would like to look over my notes for our meeting here is the link:
Lesson 2–1 John 2:3-14
Our next lesson, Lesson 3 will complete the rest of chapter two, 1 John 2:15-29.
See you then!
