2 John 1:4

Truth And Deception

³ May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love. ⁴ It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father. ⁵ And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another.
