And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

And now I entreat thee, Kuria, -no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning,- that we love one another.

And now, I beseech thee, Kuria, (I write no new commandment to thee, but that which was with us from the beginning,) that we should love one another.

καὶ νῦν ἐρωτῶ σε, κυρία, οὐχ ὡς ἐντολὴν γράφων σοι καινὴν ἀλλὰ ἣν εἴχαμεν ἀπ' ἀρχῆς, ἵνα ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους.

And now I-entreat-unto to-thee, Authority-belonged, not as to-a-finishing-in scribing unto-thee to-fresh, other to-which we-were-holding off of-a-firsting, so we-might-excess-off-unto to-one-to-other.
