1This letter is from John, the elder①. I am writing to the chosen lady and to her children②, whom I love in the truth—as does everyone else who knows the truth—/ ①Greek From the elder ②Or the church God has chosen and its membersG4245G1588G2959G2532G846G5043G3739G1473G25G1722G225G2532G3756G1473G3441G235G2532G3956G1097G2252because the truth lives in us and will be with us forever.G1223G225G3588G3306G1722G2254G2532G2071G3326G2257G1519G1653Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.G5485G2071G3326G5216G1656G1515G3844G2316G3962G2532G3844G2962G2424G5547G5207G3962G1722G225G2532G26

Live in the Truth

4How happy I was to meet some of your children and find them living according to the truth, just as the Father commanded.G5463G3029G3754G2147G1537G4675G5043G4043G1722G225G2531G2983G1785G3844G39625I am writing to remind you, dear friendsc, that we should love one another. This is not a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning.G2532G3568G2065G4571G2959G3756G5613G1125G1125G2537G1785G4671G235G3739G2192G575G746G2443G25G2406Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.G2532G3778G2076G26G2443G4043G2596G846G1785G3778G2076G1785G2443G2531G191G575G746G4043G1722G8467I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ camec in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist.G3754G4183G4108G1525G1519G2889G3588G3670G3361G2424G5547G2064G1722G4561G3778G2076G4108G2532G5008Watch out that you do not lose what wec have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.G991G1438G3363G622G3363G3739G2038G235G618G4134G34089Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.G3956G3845G2532G3306G3361G1722G1322G5547G2192G3756G2316G3306G1722G1322G5547G3778G2192G2532G3962G2532G520710If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don't invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement.G1536G2064G1536G5100G4314G5209G2532G5342G3756G5026G1322G2983G846G3361G1519G3614G2532G3361G3004G846G546311Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.G1063G3004G846G5463G2841G846G4190G2041

Conclusion

12I have much more to say to you, but I don't want to do it with paper and ink. For I hope to visit you soon and talk with you face to face.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
