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