2 John 1:6 Context
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. 7For many deceiuers are entred into the world, who confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiuer, and an Antichrist. 8Looke to your selues, that wee lose not those things which wee haue wrought, but that we receiue a full reward.
