2JO-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;

2JO-1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be

with us for ever.

2JO-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.

2JO-1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking

in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

2JO-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.

2JO-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.

2JO-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.

2JO-1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which

we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

2JO-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.

2JO-1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,

 receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:

2JO-1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his

evil deeds.

2JO-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.

2JO-1:13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
