Walk in Christ’s Commandments

⁴ I ^(A)rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

³ For I ^(A)rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. ⁴ I have no greater ^(B)joy than to hear that ^(C)my children walk in ^[a]truth.

Walk in Light

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are ^(A)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

² And ^(A)walk in love, ^(B)as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God ^(C)for a sweet-smelling aroma.

^6 (A)He who says he abides in Him ^(B)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

^6 (A)If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. ⁷ But if we ^(B)walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(C)the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Encouraged by Timothy

^6 (A)But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, ^(B)as we also to see you— ⁷ therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress ^(C)we were comforted concerning you by your faith. ⁸ For now we live, if you ^(D)stand fast in the Lord.

⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God, ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face ^(E)and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
