Three Johannine Epistles- I, II, and III John are included in the New Testament collection.  These Epistles should probably be dated A.D. 90-95.  John, the author of the Fourth Gospel, addresses the first one to an unidentified group.  I John 5:13 indicates that the author writes in order that the group might know the certainty of eternal life.  II John is addressed to an elect lady, either a church or perhaps a woman.  III John is addressed to Gaius, a man commended for his hospitality
