2 à cause de la vérité qui demeure en nous, et qui sera avec nous pour l’éternité:

3 que la grâce, la miséricorde et la paix soient avec vous de la part de Dieu le Père et de la part de Jésus-Christ, le Fils du Père, dans la vérité et la charité!

4 J’ai été fort réjoui de trouver de tes enfants qui marchent dans la vérité, selon le commandement que nous avons reçu du Père.

5 Et maintenant, ce que je te demande, Kyria, non comme te prescrivant un commandement nouveau, mais celui que nous avons eu dès le commencement, c’est que nous nous aimions les uns les autres.

6 Et l’amour consiste à marcher selon ses commandements. C’est là le commandement dans lequel vous devez marcher, comme vous l’avez appris dès le commencement.
