2JO 1:1 The
elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I
love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know
the truth,
2JO 1:2 for the sake of the truth which
abides in us and will be with us forever:
2JO 1:3 Grace, mercy and peace will be with
us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the
Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2JO 1:4 I was very glad to find some of your
children walking in truth, just as we have received
commandment to do from the Father.
2JO 1:5 And now I ask you, lady, not as
writing to you a new commandment, but the one which
we have had from the beginning, that we love one
another.
2JO 1:6 And this is love, that we walk
according to His commandments. This is the
commandment, just as you have heard from the
beginning, that you should walk in it.
2JO 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into
the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ
as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the
antichrist.
2JO 1:8 Watch yourselves, that you might not
lose what we have accomplished, but that you may
receive a full reward.
2JO 1:9 Anyone who goes too far and does not
abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God;
the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the
Father and the Son.
2JO 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not
bring this teaching, do not receive him into your
house, and do not give him a greeting;
2JO 1:11 for the one who gives him a greeting
participates in his evil deeds.
2JO 1:12 Having many things to write to you,
I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I
hope to come to you and speak face to face, that
your joy may be made full.
2JO 1:13 The children of your chosen sister
greet you.
