## Text

[1] The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth— [2] because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: [3] Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love. [4] I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us. [5] And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. [6] And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love. [7] For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. [8] Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded. [9] Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son. [10] If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him. [11] Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds. [12] I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete. [13] The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
