John, chapter 21
Conclusion. 24It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them,* and we know that his testimony is true.n 25There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.o
3 John, chapter 1
13I have much to write to you, but I do not wish to write with pen and ink.h 14Instead, I hope to see you soon, when we can talk face to face. 15Peace be with you. The friends greet you; greet the friends* there each by name.i
A related question would be, "Just what were the books Paul was referring to as Scripture in, for instance, 2 Tim 3:6"?
So I go on to ask:
