1 [1] The chosen Lady: literally, "elected"; this could also be translated "Kyria (a woman's name) chosen (by God)" or "the lady Electa" or "Electa Kyria." The adjective "chosen" is applied to all Christians at the beginning of other New Testament letters (1 Peter 1:1; Titus 1:1). The description is of a specific community with "children" who are its members. The truth: the affirmation of Jesus in the flesh and in contrast to false teaching (1 John 1:7).
