Ιωαννου Β΄ 1
1 ο πρεσβυτεροσ εκλεκτη κυρια και τοισ τεκνοισ αυτησ ουσ εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια και ουκ εγω μονοσ αλλα και παντεσ οι εγνωκοτεσ την αληθειαν
The elder, to Electa Cyria, and her children, whom I love sincerely; and not I only, but also all who have known the truth;
for the truth's sake, which is in us, and shall be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 εσται μεθ ημων χαρισ ελεοσ ειρηνη παρα θεου πατροσ και παρα κυριου ιησου χριστου του υιου του πατροσ εν αληθεια και αγαπη
Favor, mercy, and peace, be with you, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, with truth and love.
4 εχαρην λιαν οτι ευρηκα εκ των τεκνων σου περιπατουντασ εν αληθεια καθωσ εντολην ελαβομεν παρα του πατροσ
I rejoiced greatly, when I found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
5 και νυν ερωτω σε κυρια ουχ ωσ εντολην γραφων σοι καινην αλλα ην ειχομεν απ αρχησ ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ
And now I beseech you, Cyria, not as writing to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 και αυτη εστιν η αγαπη ινα περιπατωμεν κατα τασ εντολασ αυτου αυτη εστιν η εντολη καθωσ ηκουσατε απ αρχησ ινα εν αυτη περιπατητε
And this is the love that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you have heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it;
7 οτι πολλοι πλανοι εισηλθον εισ τον κοσμον οι μη ομολογουντεσ ιησουν χριστον ερχομενον εν σαρκι ουτοσ εστιν ο πλανοσ και ο αντιχριστοσ
for many deceivers are entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ did come in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist.
8 βλεπετε εαυτουσ ινα μη απολεσωμεν α ειργασαμεθα αλλα μισθον πληρη απολαβωμεν
Look to yourselves, that we may not lose the things which we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
9 πασ ο παραβαινων και μη μενων εν τη διδαχη του χριστου θεον ουκ εχει ο μενων εν τη διδαχη του χριστου ουτοσ και τον πατερα και τον υιον εχει
Whoever transgresses, and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ, has not God: he who abides in the doctrine of Christ, has both the Father and the Son.
10 ει τισ ερχεται προσ υμασ και ταυτην την διδαχην ου φερει μη λαμβανετε αυτον εισ οικιαν και χαιρειν αυτω μη λεγετε
If any one come to you, and bring not this doctrine; receive him not into your house, nor wish him success:
11 ο γαρ λεγων αυτω χαιρειν κοινωνει τοισ εργοισ αυτου τοισ πονηροισ
for he who wishes him success, partakes in his evil deeds.
12 πολλα εχων υμιν γραφειν ουκ εβουληθην δια χαρτου και μελανοσ αλλα ελπιζω ελθειν προσ υμασ και στομα προσ στομα λαλησαι ινα η χαρα ημων η πεπληρωμενη
Having many things to write to you, I did not incline to communicate them by paper and ink; because I hope to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be complete.
13 ασπαζεται σε τα τεκνα τησ αδελφησ σου τησ εκλεκτησ αμην
The children of your beloved sister, salute you.
