The use of the phrase "[[eternal life]]" occurs repeatedly in the [[Gospel of John]] and [[1 John]], but not in [[II John]] or [[III John]], which leads some to suggest that the authorship of the first two were the same, but the authorship of the latter two may have been different. However, due to the brief length of II John and III John, only about 10% the length of [[I John]], attempts to refute traditional authorship are difficult to substantiate. Numerous similarities in writing style and tone in the Gospel and Epistles of John indicate they were penned by the same individual, such as the term "antichrist" used only in I and II John.<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=antichrist&version=ESV 4 Bible results for "antichrist" from English Standard Version].
