Hallelujah! Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heavens.

Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him for His excellent greatness.

Praise Him with the sound of the horn; praise Him with the harp and lyre.

Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flute.

Praise Him with clashing cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Hallelujah!

Verse 1. The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth — and not I alone, but also all who know the truth — Verse 2. because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: Verse 3. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love. Verse 4. I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us. Verse 5. And now I urge you, dear lady — not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning — that we love one another. Verse 6. And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
