2 John 1
1 From the elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not only I, but also all those who have known 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 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 rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received this commandment from the Father.
gavisus sum valde quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre
5 Now I plead with you, lady—not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning—that we should love one another.
et nunc rogo te domina non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi sed quod habuimus ab initio ut diligamus alterutrum
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you heard 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 gone out into the world, and they do not confess that Jesus Christ came 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 Look to yourselves, that you do not lose the things for which we all have worked, but so that you may receive a full reward.
videte vosmet ipsos ne perdatis quae operati estis sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis
9 Whoever goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching, this one 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 the one who greets him participates in his evil deeds.
qui enim dicit illi have communicat operibus illius malignis
12 I have many things to write to you, but I did not wish to write them with paper and ink. However, I expect to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy will be complete.
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 your chosen sister greet you.
salutant te filii sororis tuae electae
