The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

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

For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
