2 John 1-13
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her
children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the
truth;
 2 For the truth's sake, which
dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 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.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a
commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though
I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love
one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the
world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but
that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and
abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not
this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he
that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
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, that our joy may be full. 13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. |
