I rejoiced greatly / that I found of thy children walking in truth / as we have received a commandment of the father. And now §Bbeseech I the lady / not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee / but that same which we had from the beginning / that we should *love one another. And this is the love / that we should walk after his commandments.
I reioysed greatly / that I founde of thy chyldrē walkinge in trouth / as we have receaved a commaundement of the father. And nowe §Bbeseche I the lady / not as though I wrote a newe commaundement vnto the / but that same which we had frō the begynninge / that we shuld *love one another. And this is the love / that we shulde walke after his commaundementes.
- *Love is the first commandment.Loue is the fyrst cōmaundement.
This commandment is (that as ye have heard from the beginning) ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered in to the world / which confess not that Jesus §CChrist is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an Antichrist. Look on your selves / that we loose not that we have wrought: but that we may have a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth and bideth not in the doctrine of Christ / hath not God. He that endureth in ⟨image 351⟩the doctrine of Christ / hath both the father and the son.
