Received the truth in the love of it This (famous) quote from Margaret Fell includes,


  ... and I did as the apostle saith, I ‘received the truth in the love of it’.


Does "the apostle" there imply that's a quote from the New Testament?

I tried Google -- receive "the truth in the love of it" -- and with that I only saw the phrase being used in sermons and commentaries (including John Locke).

The first few search results seem to be contemporary with Margaret Fell's quote, i.e. 17th century.

Is a phrase like that in an edition of the Bible?
Otherwise I wonder what she's quoting (apparently quoting rather than paraphrasing)?
Or is it a contemporary paraphrase of a biblical reference?
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.
