12–28. THE THINGS AND PERSONS TO BE AVOIDED

These are summed up under two heads: i. The World and the Things in the World (15–17); ii. Antichrists (18–26). The section begins with a threefold statement of the happy experiences which those addressed have had in the Gospel, and gives these as a reason for their being addressed (12–14), and ends with an exhortation to abide in Christ as the best safe-guard from the dangers against which the Apostle has been warning them (27, 28).
