| 1:1 | πρεϲβυτεροϲ:elder | [elder] – the authoritative teacher of the assembly; the letter's instruction issues from this teaching role within the community. |
| 1:1 | κυρια:lady | [lady] – the honorific address to the elect community, whether a prominent woman or the assembly personified; the term itself carries the covenant standing of the addressee. |

| 1:8 | μιϲθον:wage | [wage] – the eschatological recompense for the work the elder and the community have accomplished; the "full wage" is what is received back when nothing of that work is lost. |
| 1:10 | οικιαν:house | [house] – the household, the basic unit of the assembly's network; receiving a visitor into the house is the concrete act of granting him standing and a hearing. |
| 1:10 | χαιρειν:greeting | [greeting] – the standard epistolary greeting formula (literally "to rejoice"); refusing it to the visitor withholds the public recognition that would endorse him. |
| 1:11 | χαιρειν:greeting | [greeting] – the same formula is an act of partnership: speaking it to the one who does not bear the teaching is sharing in his evil works. |
