2 John 1:6

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

"If you really love me, you will observe my commands.

If you keep my commands you will retain my love, just as I have observed the Father's commands and retain his love.

Owe nobody anything??xcept the duty of mutual love, for whoever loves his fellow-men has fully satisfied the Law.

For you, brothers, have been called to freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for the physical, but in love be slaves to one another.

For loving God means obeying his commands, and his commands are not burdensome,

And now I beg you, my lady??ot as though I were writing you any new command, but one which we have had from the beginning??et us love one another.

Keep what you have heard from the beginning in your hearts; then you will always be in union with the Son and the Father.

Your love for the brotherhood must continue.
