2 John 1
Greeting the Elect
Lady
Obey Christ's Commandments; Beware of
Deceivers
1 The Elder,
To the elect lady and her
children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have
known the truth, 2because of the truth which abides in us and will
be with us forever:
3Grace, mercy, and peace will be
with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the
Father, in truth and love.
Walk in Christ's
Commandments
4 I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of
your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the
Father. 5And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a
new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we
love one another. 6This is love, that we walk according to His
commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the
beginning, you should walk in it.
Beware of Antichrist
Deceivers
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world
who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
an antichrist. 8Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those
things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of
Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the
Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring
this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
11for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
John's
Farewell Greeting
12 Having many things to write to you, I
did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak
face to face, that our joy may be full.
13The children of your
elect sister greet you. Amen.
