1. The elder, to a chosen Kuria and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,
2. because of the truth which stays in us and shall be with us forever:
3. Favour, compassion, peace be with you from Elohim the Father, and from the Master יהושע Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4. I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in truth, as we received a command from the Father.
5. And now I ask you, Kuria, not as though I wrote a fresh command to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
6. And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
