sn vs. tn
[edit]I copied the sns (source notes) as well as tns (translator notes). I think we should definitely keep the translation notes. I'm a bit iffy on the source notes. The article right now is short and an expositional commentary might be helpful for the reader. On the other hand by having these extended footnotes the article does strike me as picking up Dallas Theological Seminary's (the authors of the NET) POV. So I'm opening this up for discussion. jbolden1517Talk 16:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Irrelevant information
[edit]I think the following information is irrelevant to this topic: As Raymond E. Brown comments, Diotrephes is not a particularly common name. This does not add any weight to the description regarding Diotrephes in the New Testament. I recommend removing this statement and any related information pertaining to it. --JDS4197 77586 (talk) 19:04, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Diotrephes vs the author
[edit]Diotrephes' refusal to accept the authority of the author seems to imply that the author could not have been the Apostle John himself, since John the Apostle would have been accorded the highest respect by anyone who called themselves a Christian, Diotrephes included. 2600:6C5E:547F:7469:55DE:1887:69C5:C6B9 (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
