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 ;
The elder ,
To
the chosen
lady and her children, whom I love in the truth —
and not I alone
, but also all who
know
the truth —
For
the truth's
sake,
which
dwelleth
in us ,
and shall
be with us for
ever.
because
of
the truth
that
abides
in us and will
be with us forever:
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.
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will
be
with
us
in truth and love.
I rejoiced
greatly
that
I
found
of thy
children walking in truth, as we
have
received
a
commandment
from
the Father.
I was
overjoyed
to
find
some
of your
children walking in the
truth, just
as the Father has
commanded
us
.
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.
And now I urge
you
, dear
lady —
not as a new commandment to
you
, but one
we have
had from the beginning —
that we love one another.
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
.

to
His commandments. This is the very

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.
For many deceivers have
gone
out
into the world, refusing
to
confess the
coming
of
Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any
such
person
is the
deceiver and the
antichrist.
Look
to
yourselves, that we
lose
not those
things
which
we have wrought
, but that we
receive
a
full
reward
.
Watch
yourselves, so
that you
do
not lose
what
we have worked
for
, but that you
may
be
fully
rewarded
.
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.
Anyone
who
runs
ahead
without
remaining
in the teaching
of Christ does
not have
God. Whoever
remains
in His
teaching
has
both the Father and the Son.
If there
come
any
unto
you ,
and
bring
not this doctrine
, receive him not
into your house,
neither
bid
him God
speed:
If anyone
comes
to
you but
does
not bring
this teaching
, do
not
receive him into your home
or
even
greet
him .
For
he
that
biddeth
him
God
speed
is
partaker
of
his evil deeds.
Whoever
greets
such
a
person
shares
in
his evil deeds.
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
.
I
have
many things to write to
you, but
I would prefer
not to
do
so
with paper and ink .
Instead,
I hope
to come and speak with
you
face to face, so
that our joy may be complete
.
The children of thy
elect sister greet
thee.
Amen
.
The children of your
elect sister send
you
greetings
.
