2 John 1:1-6

Greeting

1 From the elder. To the chosen gentlewoman and her children, whom I truly love (and I am not the only one, but also all who know the truth),

2 because of the truth that remains with us and will be with us forever.

3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be ours who live in truth and love.

Love each other

4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children living in the truth, just as we had been commanded by the Father.

5 Now, dear friends, I am requesting that we love each other. It's not as though I'm writing a new command to you, but it's one we have had from the beginning.

6 This is love: that we live according to his commands. This is the command that you heard from the beginning: live in love.
