2 John
Chapter 1
1:1THE ELDER to the elect Lady,and her children, whom [I] love in the truth:and not [I] only,but also all that have known the truth,
1:2For the trueths sake which dwells in us,and shall be with us forever:
1:3Grace be with you, mercy and peace from Theos the Father,and from the Kyrios Jesus Christos the Son of the Father, with truth and love.
1:4[I] rejoiced greatly,that [I] found of your children walking in truth, as we have received [a] commandment of the Father.
1:5And now beseech [I] you, Lady, (not as writing [a] new commandment to you,but that same which we had from the beginning) that we love one another.
1:6And this is that love,that we should walk after his commandments. This commandment is,that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
1:7For many deceivers are entered into this world, which confess not that Jesus Christos is come in the flesh. He that is such one, is a deceiver and an Antichrist.
1:8Look to yourselves,that we lose not the things which we have done,but that we may receive full reward.
1:9Whoever transgresses,and abides not in the doctrine of Christos, has not Theos. He that continues in the doctrine of Christos, he has both the Father and the Son.
1:10If there come any to you,and bring not this doctrine, receive him not to house,neither bid him, God speed:
1:11For he that bidds him, God speed, is partaker of his evil deeds. Although [I] had many things to write to you, yet [I] would not write with paper and ynke:but [I] trust to come to you,and speak mouth to mouth,that our joy may be full.
1:12The sons of your elect sister greet you, Amen.
