2 John 1

1 [You all know me as] the [chief] Elder. [I am writing this letter] to all of you [MET] in your congregation. [God has] chosen [you], and I love you truly! Not only do I myself love you, but all those who know [and accept the] true message [that Jesus taught] also love you!

the/this/who elder: Elder select lady and the/this/who child it/s/he which I/we to love in/on/among truth and no I/we alone but and all the/this/who to know the/this/who truth

2 All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)

through/because of the/this/who truth the/this/who to stay in/on/among me and with/after me to be toward the/this/who an age: eternity (aiōn g165)

3 God the Father and Jesus Christ, who is (his Son/the man who is also God), will continue [to act] kindly and mercifully [toward us because they] love [us. They will enable us to have inner] peace, [because we believe] their true message.

to be with/after me grace mercy peace from/with/beside God father and from/with/beside (lord: God *K*) Jesus Christ the/this/who son the/this/who father in/on/among truth and love

4 I am very happy because I learned about some of you [SYN] who are conducting your lives in a manner that is (consistent/in accordance) with [God’s] true message. You are doing that just like our Father [God] commanded us [to do].

to rejoice greatly that/since: that to find/meet out from the/this/who child you to walk in/on/among truth as/just as commandment to take from/with/beside the/this/who father

5 And now, dear congregation [MET], [there is something that] I am requesting you [to do]. I am writing this not to command that you do something new, but [that you continue to do] what God commanded when we first began [MTY] [to believe his true message. What he commanded] is that we love each other.

and now to ask you lady no as/when commandment new to write you but which to have/be away from beginning in order that/to to love one another

6 And [we really/truly] are loving [God] when we are conducting our lives in accordance with whatever he commands [us to do]. What he commands us to do is to continue [to love one another]. That is exactly what you heard when you first began [MTY] [to believe God’s true message].

and this/he/she/it to be the/this/who love in order that/to to walk according to the/this/who commandment it/s/he this/he/she/it the/this/who commandment to be as/just as to hear away from beginning in order that/to in/on/among it/s/he to walk

7 Many people who deceive [others have left your congregation and] have now gone out among other people who are [in your area] [MTY]. They are the ones who (do not acknowledge/refuse to say) that Jesus Christ became human. They are the very ones who deceive [people] and oppose [what we teach about] Christ.

that/since: since much deceiving (to go out *N(K)O*) toward the/this/who world the/this/who not to confess/profess Jesus Christ to come/go in/on/among flesh this/he/she/it to be the/this/who deceiving and the/this/who antichrist

8 [So] be sure that [you do not let those teachers deceive you]! If you let them deceive you, you will lose [the reward] which we, [together with you], have been working for, and you will not receive the complete reward [of being eternally united to God]!

to see themself in order that/to not (to destroy *N(K)O*) which (to work *NK(O)*) but wage full (to get back *N(K)O*)

9 Those who change what Christ taught and do not continue [to believe] what he taught do not have [a relationship with] God. [But] those who continue to believe [what Christ] taught have [a close relationship with] both [God, our] Father, and with (his Son/the one who is also God).

all the/this/who (to go/bring before *N(K)O*) and not to stay in/on/among the/this/who teaching the/this/who Christ God no to have/be the/this/who to stay in/on/among the/this/who teaching (the/this/who Christ *K*) this/he/she/it and the/this/who father and the/this/who son to have/be

10 So when anyone comes to you who teaches something different from [what Christ] taught, do not welcome him into your homes! Do not [encourage him by] (wishing him well/greeting him as a fellow believer) [in any way]!

if one to come/go to/with you and this/he/she/it the/this/who teaching no to bear/lead not to take it/s/he toward home and to rejoice it/s/he not to say

11 [I say that] because if you treat people like that as you would treat a fellow believer, [God will punish you] along with them for the evil that they do.

the/this/who to say for it/s/he to rejoice to participate the/this/who work it/s/he the/this/who evil/bad

12 [Even though] I have much [more that I want] to tell you, I have decided not [to say it] in a letter [MTY]. Instead, I expect to be with you [soon] and talk directly with you. Then we can be completely joyful [together].

much to have/be you to write no to plan through/because of paper and ink but to hope/expect (to be *N(k)O*) to/with you and mouth to/with mouth to speak in order that/to the/this/who joy (me *NK(O)*) to fulfill to be

13 Your fellow believers here [MET], ones whom [God] has also chosen, (send their greetings to you/say that they are thinking affectionately about you).

to pay respects to you the/this/who child the/this/who sister you the/this/who select (amen *KO*)
