"I rejoiced greatly on meeting some of your children, who live in accordance with the truth, according to the command we have received from the FATHER. And now, I ask you, Lady--I write to you, not a new commandment, but that which we had, from the beginning--I ask you: let us love one another.
This is love: to walk according to HIS commandments. And this is the commandment: that you walk in love, as you have learned from the beginning.
Many deceivers have gone out into the world, people who do not acknowledge that JESUS is the CHRIST, who came in the flesh. They are impostors and antichrists. Take care of yourselves, that you do not lose the fruit of your labors but receive a perfect reward. Everyone who goes beyond, and does not remain within the teaching of CHRIST, does not have GOD. The one who remains in the teaching, has both the FATHER and the Son." - 2 John 4-9
(John invites the people to have a steadfast and emphatic attitude toward those who do not accept the faith of the apostles. At the same time, he reminds them of the fundamental law for Christians: love.
To remain zealously faithful to the Truth is to love CHRIST who entrusted this truth to us. We need the whole truth and not only what is most pleasing to people today.)
