Dear lady, I am now requesting of you that we all continue to love one another. It is not as though I am writing to give you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning.

And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.

Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.

If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting:

For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works.
