2 John 1
1 The elder to the elect lady, and to her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all who know the truth;
Senior Electæ dominæ, et natis ejus, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem,
2 we all love you, on account of the truth that dwells in us, and which will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
propter veritatem, quæ permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in æternum. (aiōn g165)
3 grace be with you, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Jesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate.
4 I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in the truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
5 And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
Et hæc est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata ejus. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, in eo ambuletis.
7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh: this is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Jesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not the things that we have gained, but that we receive a full reward.
Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
9 Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of the Christ, has not God: he that abides in the teaching of the Christ, has both the Father and the Son.
Omnis qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet: qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
10 If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not wish him well:
Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec Ave ei dixeritis.
11 for he that wishes him well, is partaker of his evil deeds.
Qui enim dicit illi Ave, communicat operibus ejus malignis.
12 Though I have many things to write to you, I determined not to communicate them by means of paper and ink: for I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per cartam et atramentum: spero enim me futurum apud vos, et os ad os loqui: ut gaudium vestrum plenum sit.
13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
Salutant te filii sororis tuæ Electæ.
