2 John
Chapter 1 of 1
1From the elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth. And I am not the only one who loves her because of this truth, but so do all who know the truth. 2We love her because of this truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever. 3Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of God the Father, be with you in truth and love. 4I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father. 5And now I ask you, lady, not as if I were writing you a new commandment, but the old one we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. 6And this is our love: that we walk in God's commandments. And this is the commandment you heard from the beginning, that we walk in it. 7For many deceivers have come into the world who do not believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what you have worked for, but receive a full reward. 9Everyone who goes astray and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God with him. Whoever remains in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house, and do not even greet him. 11For whoever greets him shares in his evil deeds. 12I have much to write to you, but I did not want to write it with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be complete. 13The children of your chosen sister send you greetings. Grace and love be with you. Amen. ‹
