The admonition to keep oneself from idols (5:21) substantiates the tradition of John writing from Ephesus since idols were prominent in the pagan Greco-Roman
culture but rare in Palestine.

John combats two forms of Gnostic teaching in his letter:
Docetic Gnosticism denied the humanity of Christ
(4:2-3), saying that he only seemed to be human, so
John wrote that he actually touched Jesus (1:1).
Occasion 291
Cerinthian Gnosticism denied the deity of Christ. Cerinthus,
who lived near John in Asia Minor, taught that Jesus was only a man upon whom "the
Christ" descended at His baptism but left before His
crucifixion. John replied that Jesus Christ came both by water (His baptism) and by
blood (His death), thus refuting Cerinthus.
