2 John 1:6 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
2 John 1:5      2 John 1:7

Second letter of John 1:6

This is love [it is expressed through]: that we walk (live) according to his commandments [plural].
This commandment is just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk (live) in it [i.e. in love and truth].
[Walking in ‘it’ can refer to loving one another and the love just mentioned in verses 5b and 6, or to the truth. In verse 4, there is the phrase walk in the truth, which may have its counterpart here in ‘walk in it,’ implying live in the truth. John probably wants to highlight a double meaning, ‘truth and love,’ the two key words of the letter in this little phrase, see verse 3. John also begins the letter with the phrase ‘I love you all in truth,’ see verse 1.]
