- II JOHN:
-
-
- CHAPTER 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;
-
- 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.
