^4 (A)I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received a commandment to do from the Father. ⁵ Now I ask you, lady, ^(B)not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had ^(C)from the beginning, that we ^(D)love one another. ⁶ And ^(E)this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, ^(F)just as you have heard ^(G)from the beginning, that you are to walk in it.

⁷ For ^(H)many deceivers have ^(I)gone out into the world, those who ^(J)do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is ^(K)the deceiver and the ^(L)antichrist.
