because of the truth that lives on in our hearts and will be with us forever:

I am happy to find that some of your children are living by the truth, just as we had been commanded from the Father to do.

And now I beg you, my lady, not as though I were writing you a new command, but one which we had from the beginning, that we continue to love one another.

Now love means this, that we keep on living in accordance with His commands. The command is this, that we continue to live in love.

For many impostors have gone out into the world, men who do not own that Jesus Christ continues to come in human form. A person like this is the impostor and the Antichrist.

Though I have much to write you, I do not choose to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that your happiness may be complete,
