2 John 1
1 The ancient to the lady Elect, and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth,
作長老的寫信給蒙揀選的太太和她的兒女，就是我誠心所愛的；不但我愛，也是一切知道真理之人所愛的。
愛你們是為真理的緣故，這真理存在我們裏面，也必永遠與我們同在。 (aiōn g165)
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus the Son of the Father; in truth and charity.
恩惠、憐憫、平安從父上帝和他兒子耶穌基督在真理和愛心上必常與我們同在！
4 I was exceeding glad, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
我見你的兒女，有照我們從父所受之命令遵行真理的，就甚歡喜。
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
太太啊，我現在勸你，我們大家要彼此相愛。這並不是我寫一條新命令給你，乃是我們從起初所受的命令。
6 And this is charity, that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same:
我們若照他的命令行，這就是愛。你們從起初所聽見當行的，就是這命令。
7 For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist.
因為世上有許多迷惑人的出來，他們不認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的；這就是那迷惑人、敵基督的。
8 Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward.
你們要小心，不要失去你們所做的工，乃要得着滿足的賞賜。
9 Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son.
凡越過基督的教訓不常守着的，就沒有上帝；常守這教訓的，就有父又有子。
10 If any man come to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him, God speed you.
若有人到你們那裏，不是傳這教訓，不要接他到家裏，也不要問他的安；
11 For he that saith unto him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.
因為問他安的，就在他的惡行上有分。
12 Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you, and speak face to face: that your joy may be full.
我還有許多事要寫給你們，卻不願意用紙墨寫出來，但盼望到你們那裏，與你們當面談論，使你們的喜樂滿足。
13 The children of thy sister Elect salute thee.
你那蒙揀選之姊妹的兒女都問你安。
