My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good.
Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty: only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh, but by charity of the spirit serve one another.
But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father:
My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
The ancient to the lady Elect, and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth,
And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.
And again he said: Behold, there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock.
And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.
The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue.
