Greek word for "lady" (Kuria) is only used 2 times in Scripture-both in 2 John.
Kuria is the feminine form of Kurios which is the Greek word for "Lord".
This elect lady was a highly esteemed woman by John.
The Bible uses women to represent the two groups on earth. So is John using "elect lady" to refer to the Chruch?
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2 John 1:1,5
