< 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 —
2 because of the truth which is abiding in us and with us that will be to the age: (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.
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.
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.
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;
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.
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*)
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.
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;
11 the [one] telling for him to rejoice partakes in the works of him evil.
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.
13 Greet you the children of the sister of you elect (Amen. *KO*)
