THE elder to the elect Curia and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only but also all who have known the truth,

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

And now I beseech you, Curia, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but [one] which we had from the beginning, that we should love one another.

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