For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.
Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about a hundred and twenty,)
Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
For the truth's sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us forever.
I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, speaking against us with malicious words: and not content with that, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and forbids them that would, and casts them out of the church.
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Beloved, you do faithfully whatsoever you do for the brethren, and for strangers;
