“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; 2
For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for
ever. 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. 4
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we
have received a commandment from the Father.”
“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. 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.”
“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.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 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.”
“10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive
him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that
biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
“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. 13 The children of thy elect sister greet
thee. Amen.” (2 John 1:1-13 AV)
