1 From the Elder.To the chosen lady and her children:I love all of you in the truth, and all those who know the truth love you.
2 We love you because of the truth that lives in us and will be with us forever.
3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, will be with us in truth and love.
4 I was very happy to learn that some of your children are following the way of truth, as the Father commanded us.
