John's Second Letter
[1:1] The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth; [1:2] for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: [1:3] Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
