Read in context

2 John 1:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—

2 because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:

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

4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.

5 And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
