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,
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 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.
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 rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command 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 implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may 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 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 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.
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 See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but 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 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 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 who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
因為問他安的，就在他的惡行上有分。
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.
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 your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
你那蒙揀選之姊妹的兒女都問你安。
