1. From the pastor, to the official board and to all whom it represents. I truly love you-all. And not just I, but all the others who know what truth is. They do so because of the truth that’s living in us and will always be with us. May there be on all of us favor and compassion and peace from Father-God and from Jesus Christ, who in truth and in love is the Father’s Son. 4. I’m extremely happy to find those of your membership walking in truth, just as we were told by the Father. And now I am urging you, the official board, "let’s love one another." (I’m not writing to you as though this were a fresh exhortation, but one which we’ve had all along.) And love means that we are to follow his instructions. The specific order, just as you recall from the very start, is that you walk in love. 7. A lot of quacks—people who deny the full humanity of Jesus—are footloose in the world. Such a person is indeed both a quack and a Christ-fighter. Give him a wide berth so you won’t flunk out on the training we’ve given you but will come through with flying colors. 9. The man who is so liberal he doesn’t stick with Christian teaching has no God. He who sticks with the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If some guy comes along who doesn’t uphold this teaching, give him neither hospitality nor encouragement. Anybody who encourages him is a partner with him in his erroneous ways. 12. I have a lot of things to write to you-all, but I won’t try to put them on paper. Instead, I m hoping to get by your way so we can talk face to face. That’ll make us all happy. 13. The members of the official board of your sister church ask to be remembered to you. Yours, see Introduction by Edward A.
