2 John 1:4

4 It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.

2 John 1:4 In-Context

2 for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever.
3 Grace, 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 It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.
5 And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another.
6 The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.
