1 From the church leader.To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love because we share the truth. I’m not the only one who loves you. Everyone who knows the truth also loves you.
2 We love you because of the truth which lives in us and will be with us forever.
3 Good will, mercy, and peace will be with us. They come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, who in truth and love is the Father’s Son.
4 I was very happy to find some of your children living in the truth as the Father has commanded us.
