2For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer: 3Grace bee with you, mercie, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of the Father in trueth and loue. 4I reioyced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in trueth, as wee haue receiued a commaundement from the Father. 5And now, I beseech thee Lady, not as though I wrote a new commandement vnto thee: but that which wee had from the beginning, that wee loue one another. 6And this is loue, that wee walke after his Commandements. This is the Commandement, that as yee haue heard from the beginning, yee should walke in it.
