2 John 4-6
World English Bible
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father. 5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

Living in the Truth
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your[a] children living truthfully, just as the Father has commanded us. 5 Dear lady, I am now requesting of you[b] that we all continue to love one another. It is not as though I am writing to give you[c] a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning. 6 And this is what demonstrates[d] love: that we live according to God’s[e] commandments. Just as you[f] have heard from the beginning what he commanded, you[g] must live by it.
