2 John 1:1

Verse 1 of 13. The 1st of 1 chapters in 2 John, in The General Letters.

1The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,

2for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:

3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.

5Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
