For The Truth's Sake

1, ¶ The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2, For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3, Grace be1 with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4, I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
