2 John

Chapter 1

JO2 1:1

The elder

unto the elect lady

and her children,

whom

I love

in the truth;

and not I only,

but

also all

they that

have known

the truth;

JO2 1:2

For the truth's sake,

which dwelleth in us,

and shall be

with us

for ever.

JO2 1:3

Grace be

with you,

mercy,

and peace,

from God the Father,

and

from the Lord Jesus Christ,

the Son

of the Father,

in truth and love.

JO2 1:4

I rejoiced greatly that

I found

of thy children

walking in truth,

as we

have received a commandment

from the Father.

JO2 1:5

And now

I beseech thee,

lady,

not as

though I

wrote

a new commandment

unto thee,

but

that which

we had

from the beginning,

that we

love one

another.

JO2 1:6

And this

is love,

that we

walk

after his commandments.

This is the commandment,

That,

as ye

have heard

from the beginning,

ye should walk in it.

JO2 1:7

For many deceivers

are entered

into the world,

who confess not

that Jesus Christ

is come in

the flesh.

This is a deceiver

and an antichrist.

JO2 1:8

Look

to yourselves,

that we

lose not those things

which we

have wrought,

but that

we receive

a full reward.

JO2 1:9

Whosoever transgresseth,

and abideth

not in the doctrine

of Christ,

hath not God.

He that abideth

in the doctrine

of Christ,

he hath

both the Father

and the Son.

JO2 1:10

If there come any

unto you,

and bring not

this doctrine,

receive him not

into your house,

neither bid him

God speed:

JO2 1:11

For he

that biddeth him God

speed

is partaker

of his evil deeds.

JO2 1:12

Having many things

to write

unto you,

I would not write

with paper

and ink:

but I

trust to

come unto you,

and speak

face to face,

that our joy

may be full.

JO2 1:13

The children

of thy

elect sister

greet thee.

Amen.
