2 John 1
1 The elder to [the] elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only but also all who have known the truth,
The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth, —
for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace shall be with you, mercy, peace from God [the] Father, and from [the] Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.
I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from [the] beginning, that we should love one another.
And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, according as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye might walk in it.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh — this is the deceiver and the antichrist.
For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 See to yourselves, that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive full wages.
Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever goes forward and abides not in the doctrine of the Christ has not God. He that abides in the doctrine, he has both the Father and the Son.
Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.
10 If any one come to you and bring not this doctrine, do not receive him into [the] house, and greet him not;
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.
11 for he who greets him partakes in his wicked works.
For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of thine elect sister greet thee.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
