The apostle John has been acknowledged as the author of this epistle, by the earliest Christian writers, without any hesitation; indeed, the similarity of sentiment and expression, as compared with his Gospel history, is a full confirmation of it.

"He also lays down various marks and evidences, by which Christians might be distinguished, both by themselves and others, from self-deceivers and hypocrites: and, while this epistle differs exceedingly, in style and manner, from those of the other apostles, it perfectly coincides with them in doctrine and practical instruction."See Scott.

Concerning the time when it was written, and the persons to whom it was addressed, there is great uncertainty. Some believe it tu have been written a little before the destruction of Jerusalem, while others fix the date at A. D. 91 or 92.
