Truth and Deception
4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth,(A) in keeping with a command we have received from the Father. 5 So now I ask you, dear lady—not as if I were writing you a new command, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.(B) 6 This is love:(C) that we walk according to his commands.(D) This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: that you walk in love.[a]

Watch Out for False Teachers
5 And now I ask you, lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another. 6 And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
