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,
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth;
for the truth’s sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever: (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.
Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;
I rejoice greatly that I have found [certain] of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
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,
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
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,
And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
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.
For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward.
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;
Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son.
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!”
If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into [your] house, and give him no greeting:
11 For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.
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.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write them] with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be fulfilled.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
The children of thine elect sister salute thee.
