2 JOHN 1
1:1 The elder unto the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all those who have known the truth;
1:2 For the truth’s sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us forever.
1:3 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.
1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found (some) of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
1:5 And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1:6 And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
1:7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
1:8 Look to yourselves, so that we lose not those things which we worked for, but that we receive a full reward.
1:9 Anyone who goes too far, and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who abides in the teaching of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
1:10 If there comes unto you anyone, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor speak him a greeting;
1:11 For he who speaks him greetings is partaker of his evil deeds.
1:12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, so that our joy may be full.
1:13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
