²for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:

2 John 1:2World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The scene

The elder says truth remains among them and will stay with them forever.

To understand

His greeting names the chosen lady and her children as people he loves in truth, together with others who know it. The next blessing joins truth with love.

A question

How does the repeated mention of truth connect the greeting to the blessing?
