Received the truth in the love of it
Upvote:1
It is probably a reference to 2 Thessalonians 2:10
...which includes:
they received not the love of the truth
...the implication being that the speaker of "received the truth in the love of it" has acquired something that the subject of 2 Thessalonians 2:10 did not because they lacked a "love of it" (i.e. no "love of the truth").
That says nothing to where the original specific quote comes from, but this is the most likely allusion.

There are several texts in the Bible to which this might be referring or alluding to:
- 2 Thess 2:10 - all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
- Zech 8:19 - … so love truth and peace.
There may also be a general allusion to several ideas on which these are based:
- John 8:44 (NLT) - For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him.
- 1 Cor 13:6 - Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
- Eph 4:15 - Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
- 1 John 3:18 - Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
