2 John 1
1 The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
THE ELDER to the elect Lady, and her children, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all that haue knowen the trueth,
For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Grace be with you, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne of the Father, with trueth and loue.
4 I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy children walking in trueth, as we haue receiued a commandement of the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
And nowe beseeche I thee, Lady, (not as writing a newe commandement vnto thee, but that same which we had from the beginning) that we loue one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
And this is that loue, that we should walke after his commandements. This commandement is, that as ye haue heard from the beginning, ye should walke in it.
7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.
For many deceiuers are entred into this worlde, which confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. He that is such one, is a deceiuer and an Antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Looke to your selues, that we lose not the things which we haue done, but that we may receiue full reward.
9 Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Whosoeuer transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.
10 If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him happiness:
If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not to house, neither bid him, God speede:
11 For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds.
For he that biddeth him, God speede, is partaker of his euill deedes.
12 Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Although I had many things to write vnto you, yet I woulde not write with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, and speake mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
The sonnes of thine elect sister greete thee, Amen.
