2 John 1 · Grade 3
Love and Truth Together
Read the Story
The elder writes to the chosen lady and her children, whom he loves in truth. Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. The elder rejoices greatly to find some of her children walking in truth.
He reminds her of the commandment they had from the beginning, that we should love one another. This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments.
Many deceivers have gone out into the world. They don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. So watch yourselves, and remain in the teaching of Christ. The elder has many things to write, but he hopes to come and speak face to face, that their joy may be full.
