Here are some questions to help you think through these verses:

-
What does he say about His apostles?
-
Who is the letter to?
-
What is the greeting?
-
What is the overall context for this letter, personally, theologically and historically?
-
How do you fit into that context?
-
What is your responsibility in that context?
