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,
The elder unto the excellent Lady, and her children, whom I love in truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
for the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and will be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)
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.
grace, mercy, and peace be with you 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.
I rejoiced greatly that I found among thy children such as walked in truth, as we received commandment from 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.
And now I beseech thee, Lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another.
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.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye 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.
For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Watch yourselves, that we do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye may 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.
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath 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,
Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of 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.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
