2 John 1
1 The elder to the chosen lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth,
我長老致書給蒙選的主母和她的子女，就是我在真理內所愛的，不但我一個人，而且也是所有認識真理的人所愛的；
這愛的因由，就是那存在我們內，並永遠與我們同在的真理。 (aiōn g165)
3 there will be with you grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
願恩寵、仁愛與平安由天主父及天父之子耶穌基督，在真理與愛情內與我們同在。
4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;
我很喜歡，因為我遇見了你的一些子女，照我們由天父所領受的命令，在真理內生活。
5 and now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,
主母，我現在請求你，我們應該彼此相愛；這不是我寫給你的一條新命令，而是我們從起初就有的命令。
6 and this is love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it,
我們按照他的命令生活，這就是愛；你們應在愛中生活，這就是那命令，正如你們從起初聽過的。
7 because many deceivers entered into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.
的確，有許多迷惑人的，來到了世界上，他們不承認耶穌基督是在肉身內降世的；這樣的人就是迷惑人的，就是假基督。
8 See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
你們要謹慎，不要喪失你們勞苦所得的，反要領受圓滿的賞報。
9 everyone who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, does not have God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son;
凡是越規而不存在基督道理內的，就沒有天主；那存在這道理內的，這人有父也有子。
10 if anyone comes to you, and does not bear this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not say to him, “Greetings!”
若有人來到你們中，不帶著這個道理，你們不要接他到家中，也不要向他請安，
11 For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
因為誰若向他請安，就是有分於他的邪惡工作。
12 Having many things to write to you, I did not intend [it] with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
雖然我還有許多事，要寫給你們，但我不願意用紙用墨，只希望到你們那裏去，親口面談，好使我們的喜樂圓滿無缺。
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
你那蒙選的姊妹的子女問候你。
