I was overjoyed to find some of your children living truthfully, just as the Father has commanded us.

and now, my lady, I beg our love may be mutual, since what I write, is no new prescription, but what was originally enjoin'd.

And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.

For there are many impostors started up in the world, who will not own that Jesus Christ was incarnate. such a one is an impostor and an anti-christ.

Having many things to write to you, I was not minded to write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
