2 Yochanan 1
1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
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 -
because of the truth which lives in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
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.
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have been commanded to do by the Father.
5 And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
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.
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
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.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Yeshua the Messiah came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-Messiah.
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.
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may get a full reward.
9 Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Messiah, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
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.
10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t welcome or receive that person into your house,
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
for the one who welcomes such a person participates in that person’s evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
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.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
