2 John 1:2-6

because the truth lives in us and will be with us forever.

May grace, mercy and peace continue to be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.

I was delighted to discover that some of your children are following the truth, just as the Father commanded us.

Now I'm telling you, dear lady, not as a new instruction, but following what we've understood from the beginning, that we should love one another.

This is what love is: we should follow God's commands. The command, just as you heard right from the beginning, is that you should live in love.
