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