2 John 1
1 The Elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I sincerely love in truth - and not only I, but also all those who have known 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 will be with us from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and sincere love.
Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Iesu Filio Patris in veritate, et charitate.
4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have been commanded to do by the Father.
Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
5 Now I ask you, dear lady, not as writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we sincerely love one another.
Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
6 This is sincere love: that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
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 - those who don’t acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.
quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Iesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus.
8 Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may get a full reward.
Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quae operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
9 Anyone who doesn’t live in the teaching of Christ, but runs away from it, doesn’t have God. One who lives in the 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 and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t welcome or receive that person into your house,
Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec AVE ei dixeritis.
11 for the one who welcomes such a person participates in that person’s evil deeds.
Qui enim dicit illi AVE, communicat operibus eius malignis. Ecce praedixi vobis, ut in die Domini non confundamini:
12 Since I have so many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
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 chosen sister greet you. Amen.
Salutant te filii sororis tuae Electae.
