2 Johannes 1
1 Den Ældste til den udvalgte Frue og hendes Børn, som jeg elsker i Sandhed, og ikke jeg alene, men ogsaa alle, som have erkendt Sandheden,
The elder to the chosen lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth,
because of the truth that is remaining in us, and will be with us throughout the age, (aiōn g165)
3 Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
there will be with you grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Jeg har glædet mig meget over, at jeg har fundet Børn af dig, som vandre i Sandhed, efter det Bud, vi fik af Faderen.
I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;
5 Og nu beder jeg dig, Frue! ikke som om jeg skrev til dig et nyt Bud, men det, som vi havde fra Begyndelsen, at vi skulle elske hverandre.
and now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,
6 Og dette er Kærligheden, at vi vandre efter hans Bud. Dette er Budet, saaledes som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, at I skulle vandre deri.
and this is love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it,
7 Thi mange Forførere ere udgaaede i Verden, som ikke bekende Jesus som Kristus kommen i Kød. En saadan er Forføreren og Antikrist.
because many deceivers entered into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.
8 Giver Agt paa eder selv, at I ikke skulle tabe, hvad vi have arbejdet, men at I maa faa fuld Løn.
See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
9 Hver den, som viger ud og ikke bliver i Kristi Lære, har ikke Gud. Den, som bliver i Læren, han har baade Faderen og Sønnen.
everyone who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, does not have God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son;
10 Dersom nogen kommer til eder og ikke fører denne Lære, ham skulle I ikke tage til Huse og ikke byde velkommen.
if anyone comes to you, and does not bear this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not say to him, “Greetings!”
11 Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
12 Endskønt jeg havde meget at skrive til eder, har jeg ikke villet det med Papir og Blæk; men jeg haaber at komme til eder og tale mundtligt med eder, for at vor Glæde maa være fuldkommen.
Having many things to write to you, I did not intend [it] with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
13 Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
