< 2 John 1 >
1 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,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
2 for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us for the age (aiōn ):
ⲃ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn )
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.

5 Now I beg 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.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲛⲁⲥ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
6 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 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, that we do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whoever transgresses and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
ⲓ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣ⳿ⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲉⲣⲉ.
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.

12 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.
