2Jo 1 | CPDV | STEP | The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,

‏ 2 John 1

He recommends walking in truth, loving one another and to beware of false teachers.

1 The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth, ^{▼▼1:1 The ancient: That is, the ancient bishop St. John, being the only one of the twelve apostles then living.(Challoner)
,} ^{▼▼1:1 To the lady Elect: Some conjecture that Electa might be the name of a family, or of a particular church; but the general opinion is, that it is the proper name of a lady, so eminent for her piety and great charity, as to merit this Epistle from St. John.(Challoner)}
