Greeting

1 ^aThe elder to the ^belect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who ^cknow the truth, 2 because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:

9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever ^pabides in the teaching ^qhas both the Father and the Son.
