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.~
