| jhn:21:24 | This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. |

| 1:13 | I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: |
| 1:14 | But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name. |
