2 John 1
1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who know the truth,
The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoice exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but what we had from the beginning, that we would love each other.
And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 Because many deceivers have gone forth into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Watch yourselves, so that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Every man transgressing, and not abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, does not have God. The man abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, this man has both the Father and the Son.
Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
10 If any man comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into a house, and do not speak to him to rejoice.
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 For he who speaks to him to rejoice, partakes of his evil works.
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
12 Having many things, I did not want to write to you by paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, so that our joy may be filled.
Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13 The children of thy chosen sister salute thee. Truly.
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
