2 John 1
1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not only I, but also all who know the truth—
senior electae dominae et natis eius quos ego diligo in veritate et non ego solus sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem
propter veritatem quae permanet in nobis et nobiscum erit in aeternum (aiōn g165)
3 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 love.
sit nobiscum gratia misericordia pax a Deo Patre et a Christo Iesu Filio Patris in veritate et caritate
4 I was overjoyed to find some of yoʋr children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.
gavisus sum valde quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre
5 And now I ask yoʋ, dear lady—not as writing yoʋ a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
et nunc rogo te domina non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi sed quod habuimus ab initio ut diligamus alterutrum
6 Now this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard it from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
et haec est caritas ut ambulemus secundum mandata eius hoc mandatum est ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio in eo ambuletis
7 For many deceivers have come into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum qui non confitentur Iesum Christum venientem in carne hic est seductor et antichristus
8 Watch yourselves, so that we do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward.
videte vosmet ipsos ne perdatis quae operati estis sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis
9 Everyone who transgresses and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
omnis qui praecedit et non manet in doctrina Christi Deum non habet qui permanet in doctrina hic et Filium et Patrem habet
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not greet him;
si quis venit ad vos et hanc doctrinam non adfert nolite recipere eum in domum nec have ei dixeritis
11 for whoever greets him takes part in his evil works.
qui enim dicit illi have communicat operibus illius malignis
12 Although I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be full.
plura habens vobis scribere nolui per cartam et atramentum spero enim me futurum apud vos et os ad os loqui ut gaudium vestrum plenum sit
13 The children of yoʋr chosen sister greet yoʋ. Amen.
salutant te filii sororis tuae electae
