The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not only I but also all who know the truth, |
2
|
because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us for ever: |
3
|
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love. |
4
|
I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children following the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father. |
5
|
And now I beg you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. |
6
|
And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love. |
7
|
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. |
8
|
Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. |
9
|
Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. |
10
|
If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting; |
11
|
for he who greets him shares his wicked work. |
12
|
Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete. |
13
|
The children of your elect sister greet you. |
