< 2 John 1 >
1 The elder To [the] elect lady and to the children of her whom I myself love in truth, and not I myself only, but also all those already knowing the truth —
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, —
2 because of the truth which is abiding in us and with us that will be to the age: (aiōn )
for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever. (aiōn )
3 Will be with us grace mercy [and] peace from God [the] Father and from (Lord *K*) Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.
Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you 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 [some] of the children of you walking in truth even as commandment we received from the Father.
I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
5 And now I implore you, lady, not as a commandment new I am writing to you but that which we have had from [the] beginning, that we may love one another.
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.
6 And this is love that we may walk according to the commandments of Him. This the commandment is even as you have heard from [the] beginning, so that in it you may walk;
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.
7 For many deceivers (have gone out *N(K)O*) into the world, those not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
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.
8 do watch yourselves so that not (you may lose *N(K)O*) what things (we have worked for, *NK(O)*) but a reward full (you may receive. *N(K)O*)
Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.
9 Anyone who (is progressing *N(K)O*) and not abiding in the teaching of Christ God not has; The [one] abiding in the teaching (of the Christ *K*) this [one] both the Father and the Son has.
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.
10 If anyone comes to you and this teaching not does bring, not do receive him into [the] house, and to greet him not do tell;
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.
11 the [one] telling for him to rejoice partakes in the works of him evil.
For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.
12 Many things having to you to write not I purposed with paper and ink; but I hope (to come *N(k)O*) to you and mouth to mouth to speak so that the joy (of us *NK(O)*) completed may be.
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.
13 Greet you the children of the sister of you elect (Amen. *KO*)
The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
