About This Book

A brief pastoral letter to a chosen woman and her household affirms the writer's love and joy at their faithful obedience, urging mutual love grounded in adherence to received teachings. It warns against false teachers who deny that Christ came in the flesh, instructs the community not to welcome or support such visitors, and stresses that remaining true to the teaching preserves fellowship with the Father and the Son. The writer hopes to visit in person to complete their joy and closes with greetings from other believers.
