May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.

It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another.

Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.

Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
