The elder, to the elect lady and her children which I love in the truth: And not I only, but also all that have known the truth,

for the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be in us for ever.

And now beseech I thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that same, which we had from the beginning: that we should love one another.

For many deceivers are entered into the world, which confess not Jesus Christ as coming, or returning in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
