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 the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 εσται μεθ ημων χαρις ελεος ειρηνη παρα θεου πατρος και παρα ιησου χριστου του υιου του πατρος εν αληθεια και αγαπη
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Yeshua Meshikha, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 εχαρην λιαν οτι ευρηκα εκ των τεκνων σου περιπατουντας εν αληθεια καθως εντολην ελαβομεν παρα του πατρος
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 και νυν ερωτω σε κυρια ουχ ως εντολην {VAR1: γραφων σοι καινην } {VAR2: καινην γραφων σοι } αλλα ην ειχομεν απ αρχης ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλους
And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote 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 η εντολη εστιν καθως ηκουσατε απ αρχης ινα εν αυτη περιπατητε
This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 οτι πολλοι πλανοι εξηλθον εις τον κοσμον οι μη ομολογουντες ιησουν χριστον ερχομενον εν σαρκι ουτος εστιν ο πλανος και ο αντιχριστος
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Yeshua Meshikha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-Meshikha.
8 βλεπετε εαυτους ινα μη απολεσητε α ειργασαμεθα αλλα μισθον πληρη απολαβητε
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
9 πας ο προαγων και μη μενων εν τη διδαχη του χριστου θεον ουκ εχει ο μενων εν τη διδαχη ουτος και τον πατερα και τον υιον εχει
Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Meshikha, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same 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 anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 ο λεγων γαρ αυτω χαιρειν κοινωνει τοις εργοις αυτου τοις πονηροις
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
12 πολλα εχων υμιν γραφειν ουκ εβουληθην δια χαρτου και μελανος αλλα ελπιζω γενεσθαι προς υμας και στομα προς στομα λαλησαι ινα η χαρα {VAR1: υμων } {VAR2: ημων } πεπληρωμενη η
Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13 ασπαζεται σε τα τεκνα της αδελφης σου της εκλεκτης
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
