This letter is from John, the elder. 1
I am writing to the chosen lady and to her children, 2 whom I love in the truth - as does everyone else who knows the truth -

Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ - the Son of the Father - will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.
