2 John 1
1 THE elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
THE Elder, to Kuria the elect, and to her children: whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but all they who know the truth;
for the sake of the truth, which abideth in us and is with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
May grace be with you, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
I have rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children, who walked in the truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
And now, I beseech thee, Kuria, (I write no new commandment to thee, but that which was with us from the beginning, ) that we should love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that we should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Because many seducers have gone forth into the world, who confess not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh. This is a seducer and Antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not what ye have wrought; but that ye may be recompensed with a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Messiah, God is not in him. And he who abideth in his doctrine, he hath the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, entertain him not in your house, nor say to him, Joy to thee:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
for he that saith to him, Joy to thee, is a participator in his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Having many things I could write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to converse mouth to mouth, that our joy may be complete.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Grace be with you. Amen.
