2 John 1
1 The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth, —
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;
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Yeshua Meshikha, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
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.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
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.
7 For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Yeshua Meshikha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-Meshikha.
8 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.
Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Meshikha, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
10 If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
12 Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
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.
13 The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
