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—
Senior Electae dominae, et natis eius, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes, qui cognoverunt veritatem,
propter veritatem, quae permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in aeternum. (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.
Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Iesu Filio Patris in veritate, et charitate.
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
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.
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 very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
Et haec est charitas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata eius. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, in eo ambuletis:
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.
quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Iesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quae operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
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.
Omnis, qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet: qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec AVE ei dixeritis.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
Qui enim dicit illi AVE, communicat operibus eius malignis. Ecce praedixi vobis, ut in die Domini non confundamini:
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.
Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per chartam 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 send you greetings.
Salutant te filii sororis tuae Electae.
