Walk According to His Commandments

1 aThe elder to the bchosen clady and her children, whom I dlove in truth; and not only I, but also all who eknow the truth, 2for fthe sake of the truth which abides gin us and will be hwith us forever: 3 iGrace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 jI was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father. 5Now I ask you, lady, knot as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had lfrom the beginning, that we mlove one another. 6And nthis is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, ojust as you have heard pfrom the beginning, that you should walk in it.

7For qmany deceivers have rgone out into the world, those who sdo not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is tthe deceiver and the uantichrist. 8 vWatch yourselves, wthat you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. 9 ▼
▼ Lit Everyone
Anyone who ▼
▼ Lit goes on ahead
goes too far and zdoes not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, aado not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11for the one who gives him a greeting abparticipates in his evil deeds.

12 acThough I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that ▼
▼ One early ms reads our
your aejoy may be made full.

13The children of your afchosen sister greet you.
