2 John
Chapter 1
1:1THE ELDER to the elect Lady,and her children, whom I love in the truth:and not I only,but also all that have known the truth,
1:2For the truth's sake which dwells in us,and shall be with us forever:
1:3Grace be with you, eleos and peace from Theos the Father,and from the Kyrios Jesus Christos the Son of the Father, with truth and love.
1:4I rejoiced greatly,that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment of the Father.
1:5And now I ask you, Lady, (not as writing a new commandment to you,but that same which we had from the beginning) that we love one another.
1:6And this is that love,that we should walk after his commandments. This commandment is,that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
1:7For many deceivers are entered into this world, which confess not that Jesus Christos is come in the flesh. He that is such one, is a deceiver and an Antichrist.
1:8Look to yourselves,that we lose not the things which we have done,but that we may receive full reward.
1:9Whoever transgresses,and abides not in the doctrine of Christos, has not Theos. He that continues in the doctrine of Christos, he has both the Father and the Son.
1:10If anyone comes to you,and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house,neither greet him:
1:11For he that greets him, is partaker of his evil deeds.
1:12Although I had many things to write to you, yet I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
1:13The sons of your elect sister greet you, Amen.
