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.  

Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

7 For amany deceivers have gone out into the world bwho do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. cThis is a deceiver and an antichrist.  
8 aLook to yourselves, bthat we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.  
9 aWhoever1 transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

2 John 1:6

Love (h agaph). The love just mentioned.

That we should walk (ina peripatwmen). Object clause in nominative case in apposition with agaph, with ina and the present active subjunctive of peripatew, "that we keep on walking."

The commandment (h entolh). The one just mentioned with the same construction with ina as in I John 3:23. John changes from the first person plural to the second (hkousate as in I John 2:7, peripathte) as in I John 2:5, I John 2:7.

In it (en auth). Either to alhqeiai (truth) of verse II John 1:4, agaph of this verse, or entolh of this verse. Either makes good sense, probably "in love." With peripatew (walk) we have often en (I John 1:7, 1:11, etc.) or kata (according to) as in Mark 7:5; I Corinthians 3:3; II Corinthians 10:2, etc.
