2 John 1:4

Truth And Deception

³ Grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ the son of the father, in consequence of your sincere piety, and social virtue. ⁴ It was a great satisfaction to me, to see the conduct of your children, was so agreeable to the directions, we received from the father. ⁵ and now, my lady, I beg our love may be mutual, since what I write, is no new prescription, but what was originally enjoin'd.

From the Father

Walk in the Truth

3 John 1:3-4

For I was greatly pleased when the brethren came and assured me of your fidelity and religious conduct.

Ephesians 5:8

you were heretofore altogether in the dark, but now being enlightned by the Lord, behave as children of light:

Galatians 2:14

but when I saw, they conformed not their conduct to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all: if you being a Jew, live after the manner of the Gentiles, and not according to that of the Jews, why do you constrain the Gentiles to judaize?

Ephesians 5:2

for Christ loved us, and for us gave himself an offering and a sacrifice acceptable to God.

Philippians 4:10

Now I joyfully thank the Lord, that your concern for me has at length reviv'd. not that you wanted the disposition, but only the opportunity.

1 Thessalonians 2:19-20

for what can be our hope, or joy, what can crown our pretensions, unless it be you, when we shall appear before the Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

1 Thessalonians 3:6-10

but Timothy, upon his arrival here from you, brings us the agreeable news of the perseverance of your faith and charity, that you always make honourable mention of us, and that you desire to see us as ardently as we do to see you.

1 John 1:6-7

if we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lye, and do not act sincerely:

1 John 2:6

he that says he is attach'd to Christ, ought to regulate his conduct by his example.
