grace be with you, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in the truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

And this is -love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
