< 2 John 1 >
1 The elder unto the excellent Lady, and her children, whom I love in truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
THE presbyter to the elect Kuria and to her sons, whom I love in truth, nor I only, but all they who know the truth,
2 for the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and will be with us for ever: (aiōn )
on account of the truth which abideth in us, and is with us for ever; (aiōn )
3 grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Grace be with you and mercy and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from Jeshu Meshiha the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found among thy children such as walked in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
I have rejoiced much to have found of thy sons who walk in the truth, after the commandment we have received from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, Lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another.
And now I entreat thee, Kuria, -no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, -that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment; this commandment is according to that which you have heard from the beginning, that in it we should walk.
7 For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Because many deceivers are come out into the world who confess not that Jeshu Meshiha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye may receive a full reward.
Be watchful of yourselves, that not any thing perish which you have wrought; but (that with) a complete reward you may be recompensed.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son.
Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Meshiha, hath not Aloha. He who abideth in his doctrine, this hath both the Father and the Son.
10 Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,
If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and " Farewell," say not to him.
11 that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of his evil deeds.
For he who saith to him, " Farewell," becometh a participator of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
Though I have many things to write to you, I will not with parchment and ink; but I hope to come to you, and mouth with mouth to speak, that our joy may be complete.
13 The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
The sons of thy elect sister ask your peace. Grace be with you. Amen.
