Walk in Christ’s Commandments

4 I ^arejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: ^athat we love one another.

6 ^aThis is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that ^bas you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
