2 John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. [KJV]
John wrote two commandments in these verses: walk in truth, and love one another.
Compare these verses with 1 John 3:22-24 and 1 John 4:7-21.
