General epistles

End of the Second Epistle of Peter and beginning of the First Epistle of John in the same column of the codex Alexandrinus.

The general epistles are termed as such because of the plurality of authors that wrote them. The general epistles were completed prior to 100 AD, with the third epistle of John being the latest.
