2 John 1
1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
Starješina izabranoj Gospođi i djeci njezinoj koju ja ljubim u Istini - a ne samo ja nego i svi koji upoznaše Istinu -
radi Istine koja ostaje u nama i bit će s nama dovijeka. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
Bila s nama milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i od Sina Očeva Isusa Krista u istini i ljubavi!
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
Obradovah se veoma što sam među tvojom djecom našao takve koji hode u istini, kao što primismo zapovijed od Oca.
5 And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
I sada te molim, Gospođo, ne kao da ti novu zapovijed pišem, nego onu koju smo imali od početka: da ljubimo jedni druge.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
A ovo je ta ljubav: da živimo po zapovijedima njegovim. To je zapovijed, kao što čuste od početka, da u njoj živite.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Jer iziđoše na svijet mnogi zavodnici koji ne ispovijedaju Isusa Krista koji dolazi u tijelu. To je zavodnik i Antikrist.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
Čuvajte se da ne izgubite što ste stekli, nego da primite potpunu plaću.
9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Tko god pretjera i ne ostane u nauku Kristovu, nema Boga. Tko ostaje u nauku, ima i Oca i Sina.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
Ako tko dolazi k vama i ne donosi tog nauka, ne primajte ga u kuću i ne pozdravljajte ga.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
Jer tko ga pozdravlja, sudjeluje u njegovim zlim djelima.
12 I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
Mnogo bih vam imao pisati, ali ne htjedoh na papiru i crnilom, nego se nadam da ću doći k vama i iz usta u usta govoriti da radost vaša bude potpuna.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
Pozdravljaju te djeca tvoje izabrane sestre.
