This epistle is like an abridgement of the first; it
touches, in few words, on the same points. The Lady Electa is commended for her
virtuous and religious education of her children; is exhorted to abide in the
doctrine of Christ, to persevere in the truth, and carefully to avoid the
delusions of false teachers. But chiefly the apostle beseeches her to practise
the great commandment of Christian love and charity.
