2 John - Chapter 1

¹ From the Elder: my greetings to the Lady, the chosen one, and to her children, whom I love in truth -- and I am not the only one, for so do all who have come to know the Truth -- and I am not the only one, for so so do all who have come to know the Truth-

² because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us for ever.

³ In our life of truth and love, we shall have grace, faithful love and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father.

⁴ It has given me great joy to find that children of yours have been living the life of truth as we were commanded by the Father.

⁵ And now I am asking you -- dear lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but only the one which we have had from the beginning -- that we should love one another.

⁶ To love is to live according to his commandments: this is the commandment which you have heard since the beginning, to live a life of love.

⁷ There are many deceivers at large in the world, refusing to acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in human nature. They are the Deceiver; they are the Antichrist.

⁸ Watch yourselves, or all our work will be lost and you will forfeit your full reward.

⁹ If anybody does not remain in the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it, he does not have God with him: only those who remain in what he taught can have the Father and the Son with them.

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you bringing a different doctrine, you must not receive him into your house or even give him a greeting.

¹¹ Whoever greets him has a share in his wicked activities.

¹² There are several things I have to tell you, but I have thought it best not to trust them to paper and ink. I hope instead to visit you and talk to you in person, so that our joy may be complete.

¹³ Greetings to you from the children of your sister, the chosen one.
