Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.

And now I ask you, lady (not as [if I were] writing a new commandment to you, but [one] that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another.

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