2 John 1

Walk According to His Commandments

11The elderG4245 to the 2chosenG1588 3ladyG2959 and her childrenG5043, whomG3739 I 4loveG25 in truthG225; and not onlyG3441 I, but alsoG2532 allG3956 who 5knowG1097 the truthG225, 2for 6the sakeG1223 of the truthG225 which abidesG3306 7in us and will be 8with us foreverG165: 39GraceG5485, mercyG1656 and peaceG1515 will be with us, from GodG2316 the FatherG3962 and from JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the FatherG3962, in truthG225 and loveG26.

410I was veryG3029 gladG5463 to findG2147 some of your childrenG5043 walkingG4043 in truthG225, justG2531 as we have receivedG2983 commandmentG1785 to do from the FatherG3962. 5NowG3568 I askG2065 you, ladyG2959, 11not as though I were writingG1125 to you a newG2537 commandmentG1785, but the one whichG3739 we have hadG2192 12from the beginningG746, that we 13loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240. 6And 14thisG3778 is loveG26, that we walkG4043 accordingG2596 to His commandmentsG1785. ThisG3778 is the commandmentG1785, 15justG2531 as you have heardG191 16from the beginningG746, that you should walkG4043 in it.

7For 17manyG4183 deceiversG4108 have 18goneG1831 out into the worldG2889, thoseG3588 who 19do not acknowledgeG3670 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 as comingG2064 in the fleshG4561. ThisG3778 is 20the deceiverG4108 and the 21antichristG500. 822WatchG991 yourselvesG1438, 23that you do not loseG622 whatG3739 we have accomplishedG2038, but that you may receiveG618 a fullG4134 rewardG3408. 924AnyoneG3956 who 25goesG4254 tooG4254 farG4254 and 26does not abideG3306 in the teachingG1322 of ChristG5547, does not haveG2192 GodG2316; the one who abidesG3306 in the teachingG1322, he hasG2192 bothG2532 the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207. 10IfG1487 anyoneG5100 comesG2064 to you and does not bringG5342 thisG3778 teachingG1322, 27do not receiveG2983 him into your houseG3614, and do not giveG3004 him a greetingG5463; 11for the one who givesG3004 him a greetingG5463 28participatesG2841 in his evilG4190 deedsG2041.

1229Though I haveG2192 manyG4183 thingsG4183 to writeG1125 to you, I do not wantG1014 to do so with paperG5489 and inkG3189; but I hopeG1679 to comeG1096 to you and speakG2980 faceG4750 to faceG4750, soG2443 that 30your 31joyG5479 may be madeG4137 fullG4137.

13The childrenG5043 of your 32chosenG1588 sisterG79 greetG782 you.
