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

4 I rejoiced greatly that I found your children walking in truth, as we have received command from the Father.

5 And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from [the] beginning, that we love one another.
