Read Introduction
Walking in Truth and Love
Ch. 1John's brief second letter urges the "elect lady and her children" to walk in the commandment of love while warning against welcoming those who bring a different Christology into the community.
2 John establishes that Christian love does not require welcoming those who deny the Incarnation into the community's fellowship — love and truth are inseparable.
