2 John 1

1The elderG4245 unto the electG1588 ladyG2959 and her childrenG5043, whom I loveG25 in truthG225; and not I onlyG3441, but alsoG2532 all they that knowG1097 the truthG225; 2for the truth’s sakeG1223 which abideth in us, and it shall beG1510 with us for ever: 3GraceG5485, mercyG1656, peaceG1515 shall beG1510 with us, from GodG2316 the FatherG3962, and from JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the FatherG3962, in truthG225 and loveG26.

4I rejoiceG5463 greatlyG3029 that I have foundG2147certainof thy childrenG5043 walkingG4043 in truthG225, even as we receivedG2983 commandmentG1785 from the FatherG3962. 5And nowG3568 I beseech thee, ladyG2959, not as though I wroteG1125 to thee a newG2537 commandmentG1785, but that which we had from the beginning, that we loveG25 oneG240 another. 6And this isG1510 loveG26, that we should walkG4043 after his commandmentsG1785. This isG1510 the commandmentG1785, evenG2532 as ye heardG191 from the beginning, that ye should walkG4043 in it. 7For manyG4183 deceiversG4108 areG1510 goneG1831 forthG1831 into the worldG2889, evenG2532 they that confessG3670 not that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 cometh in the fleshG4561. This isG1510 the deceiverG4108 and the antichristG500. 8LookG991 to yourselves, that ye loseG622 not the thingsG3739 which we have wrought, but that ye receiveG618 a fullG4134 rewardG3408. 9Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teachingG1322 of ChristG5547, hath not GodG2316: he that abideth in the teachingG1322, the same hath both the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207. 10If any oneG5100 cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teachingG1322, receiveG2983 him not into your houseG3614, and give him no greetingG5463: 11for he that giveth him greetingG5463 partaketh in his evilG4190 worksG2041.

12Having manyG4183 thingsG4183 to writeG1125 unto you, I would not writeG1125 them with paper and inkG3188: but I hopeG1679 to comeG1096 unto you, and to speakG2980 face to face, that your joyG5479 may beG1510 made fullG4137. 13The childrenG5043 of thine electG1588 sisterG79 salute thee.
