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 elect Cyria, and to her children, whom in truth I love with divine love; and not I, but also those having known the truth;
on account of the truth which abides in us, and shall be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
Grace, mercy, peace, shall be with us from God our Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in divine 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 rejoice exceedingly because I have found some of thy children walking about in truth, as we received commandment 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 entreat thee, O Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another with divine love.
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 the divine love, that we may walk about according to his commandments; this is the commandment, That, as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk about 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 have gone out into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh; the same is the deceiver 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.
Take heed to yourselves, that you may not destroy those things which you have wrought, 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.
Every one going forth, and not abiding in the teaching of Christ, has not God; the one abiding in the teaching, the same 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 any one comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine; do not receive him into your house, and do not bid him God speed:
11 Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
for the one bidding him God speed partakes of his evil deeds.
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 would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and mouth to mouth to speak to you, in order that our joy may be full.
13 Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
