2 John Cross References - Thomson

¹ The elder to Electa Cyria and her children whom in truth I love [and not only I, but all who have known the truth] ² on account of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever: ³ with you be favour, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I was greatly rejoiced because I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received a commandment from the Father. ⁵ And I now intreat thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment; but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another; ⁶ and this love is that we may walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you may walk therein. ⁷ Because there are many deceivers come into the world, who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ is come in flesh. [This is the deceiver, and the Antichrist] ⁸ Look to yourselves, that we may not lose our labour, but that we may receive ample wages. ⁹ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Christ, hath not God. He who abideth in the doctrine of the Christ hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one cometh to you, and doth not bring this doctrine, receive him not into your family; nor wish him success; ¹¹ for he who wisheth him success is a partaker with him in his evil works. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I determined not to commit them to paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and deliver them by word of mouth, that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of thy sister Electa salute thee. Amen.

¹² and said, Lord the God of my master Abraham, prosper the way before me this day; and shew thy kindness to my master Abraham.

⁸ Mouth to mouth, I will speak to him personally, and not in dark sentences. He hath actually seen the glory of God. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses.

¹⁸ When thou sawest a thief, thou didst run with him; and hast been a partaker with adulterers.

⁸ so that they who passed by did not say, "The blessing of the Lord is upon you." We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

³ And they who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and some of the many righteous like the stars for the ages and longer.

⁹ [p] Who is wise that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? Because the ways of the Lord are straight; therefore the righteous will walk in them: But in them the wicked shall be without strength.

¹⁹ Thus saith the Lord Almighty, The fourth fast, and the fifth fast, and the seventh fast, and the tenth fast shall be to the house of Juda for joy and gladness and for cheerful festivals, and ye shall rejoice. Therefore love truth and peace.

⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth: and iniquity should not have been found in his lips. Walking uprightly with me in peace, he indeed turned many from iniquity.

²⁷ All things are delivered up to me by my father; and none but the father knoweth the son; nor doth any know the father, but only the son, and he to whom the son is pleased to reveal him.

⁴ Thereupon Jesus answering, said to them, Take heed that no one seduce you.

²⁴ For false Christs and false prophets will rise up and give out great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the chosen. ²⁵ Behold I have forewarned you.

⁵ Thereupon Jesus, in answer to them, took occasion to say, Take heed that none seduce you: ⁶ for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and will seduce many.

⁹ Now look to yourselves. For they will deliver you up to councils and synagogues. You will be scourged and brought before governors and kings, for my sake, to bear testimony to them.

²³ But be upon your guard. Lo! I have foretold you all things.

³ it seemed good to me. also, when I had accurately traced every thing from the very first, immediately afterwards to write to thee, most excellent Theophilus,

²² All things are delivered up to me by my Father; and none knoweth who the Son is, except the Father; nor who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son will please to reveal him.

⁸ he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, I am he: and the time is at hand; therefore go not after them.

¹⁴ Now the Word became incarnate, and dwelt as in a tent among us, and we beheld his glory; a glory as of an only begotten from the father. He was full of grace and truth.

³⁶ And he who reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit for an everlasting life, that he who soweth, and he who reapeth, may rejoice together.

²³ that all may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father, who sent him.

¹⁶ Jesus addressing them, said, This doctrine of mine is not mine, but his, who sent me. ¹⁷ If any man is disposed to do his will, he will know in respect to this doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

³⁴ A new commandment I give you, that you love one another. As I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you exercise mutual love.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one cometh to the father but by me.

¹⁵ If you love me keep my commandments,

²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them; he. it is who loveth me. And he who loveth me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.

⁶ if any one continueth not in me he is thrown away as the branch is when it is withered. Such indeed are gathered and thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷ If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, ask what you will and it will be done for you:

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall continue in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments and continue in his love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you that my joy may continue, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I command you.

¹² I have still many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

²⁴ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete.

¹³ but I am now coming to thee, and I speak these things in this world, that they may have their joy in me completed in them.

⁴² and continued stedfast in the doctrine of the apostles and in the community, and in the breaking of the loaf, and in prayers,

⁷ to all who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and consecrated; favour be to you, and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ Owe no one any thing, save this, to love one another: for he who loveth others hath fulfilled the law: ⁹ for this: Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shall not murder; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; Thou shall not covet; and whatever other commandment there be, is summed up in this commandment, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

²⁴ I will, when I take a journey to Spain, come to you. For I hope to see you on my way, and to be forwarded thither by you, when I shall have first been in some degree satisfied with your company.

¹⁷ Now I exhort you, brethren, to mark them who make the divisions and the stumbling blocks contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them. ¹⁸ For such men do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly. And by their fawning speeches and flattering forms of address, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

⁸ Now he who planteth and he who watereth are all one; and each shall receive his peculiar reward according to his peculiar labour.

¹⁴ If any one's work which he hath built upon it, shall stand the test, he will receive a reward.

¹¹ But this is what I now write to you, that if any one named a brother, be a fornicator, or one who gratifieth immoderate desires, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, you are not to associate; no, nor eat with such a one.

²³ And this I do in consequence of the glad tidings that I may be a joint sharer thereof.

⁸ and, last of all, he was seen also by me, who am as it were one born out of due time;

⁵ Now I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, [for I am going through Macedonia] ⁶ and perhaps I may continue with you some time, or even spend the winter, that you may forward me on in whatever journey I may take. ⁷ For I do not wish to see you now on my way, but hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit.

²² If any one loveth not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be an Anathema. Maranatha.

⁵ For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake.

⁸ But if we, or an angel from heaven, proclaim to you as glad tidings any thing different from what we have proclaimed to you, let him be an anathema. As we said before, ⁹ so I now say again, If any one teach you as glad tidings any thing different from what you have received, let him be anathema.

⁵ yield for a moment any submission to them, that the truth of the glad tidings might continue with you.

¹⁴ But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before them all, "If thou being a Jew mayst live after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, why compellest thou .the Gentiles to conform to the rites of the Jews?

¹ Inconsiderate Galatians! who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth; you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ crucified was evidently represented among you?

⁴ Have you suffered so many things in vain? But if indeed in vain;

¹¹ I am afraid for you lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision availeth any thing, but a belief made operative by love. ⁷ You were running well. Who hath stopped you from obeying the truth?

¹³ for you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only let not that liberty be an advantage to the flesh; but be servants to one another by offices of love. ¹⁴ For the whole law is summed up in this one precept, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

²² But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,

⁴ as he chose us in him before the5 foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love; ⁵ having before hand determinately pointed us out for an adoption into the number of children by Jesus Christ for himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;

² And walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, as an3 offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.

⁸ For you were formerly darkness, but being now a light in the Lord, walk as children of light

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them:

¹⁵ that you may be blameless and sincere, spotless children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, amongst whom shine ye forth as lights in the world, ¹⁶ displaying the word of life, that I may have matter of boasting for the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor labour in vain,

¹⁶ [over and above the advance which we have made by walking by this rule,"by minding this itself]

¹⁰ Now I was greatly rejoiced in the Lord that now at length you revived your care for me, for whom you indeed were concerned, but had not an opportunity.

⁵ on account of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before by the true word of the gospel,

¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell richly in you with all wisdom, when you teach and admonish one another; when with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs you sing gratefully to the Lord with your heart.

³ remembering incessantly the work of your belief, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father; ⁴ knowing, brethren beloved of God, the choice made of you

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or will be our joy, or crown of rejoicing? Will it not be you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? ²⁰ For you are our glory and our joy.

⁶ But Timothy having now come to us from you, and brought us the good news of your belief and love, and that you have always a good remembrance of us, earnestly desiring to see us, as we do to see you; ⁷ we therefore, brethren, under all our affliction and distress are comforted in respect to you, by your faith. ⁸ Now because we live if you continue stedfast in the Lord, ⁹ what thanks then can we render to God respecting you, for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account, in the presence of our God; ¹⁰ day and night supplicating in the most earnest; manner to see your face and to complete the remainders of! your belief!

⁹ In respect to brotherly love you have no need of our writing to you, for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another,

¹³ Now we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath, from the beginning, chosen you for salvation by a sanctification of spirit and a belief of the truth ¹⁴ to which he hath called you by our glad tidings, to be an acquisition of glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly and not according to the doctrine which he received from us.

¹⁴ And if any one doth not obey this injunction of ours by this letter, mark that man, and have no intimate connection with him, that he may be ashamed.

² to Timothy, my genuine son by belief, be favour, mercy, peace from God our father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁴ And this favour of our Lord superabounded with faith and love which is by Christ Jesus.

⁴ who willeth all men to be saved, and to come to an acknowledgment of truth.

¹⁶ [and unquestionably great is the mystery of this religion,] God hath been manifested in flesh, justified by spirit, hath appeared to messengers, been proclaimed among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

²² Lay hands upon no one hastily, nor be a partaker in the sins of others. Keep thyself pure.

⁴ earnestly desiring [when I call to mind thy tears] to see thee that I may be filled with joy, ⁵ recollecting that unfeigned belief in thee, which dwelt first in thy grand mother Lois and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in thee also:

¹³ Use the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, with faith and the love in Christ Jesus.

⁵ having a form of religion but denying the power of it. From such turn away; ⁶ for of such sort are they who insinuate themselves into families, and lead captive weak women laden with sin, led aside by various lusts,

¹⁰ not embezzling, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may in all things adorn the doctrine of our saviour God.

¹⁰ With regard to a factious man, after a first and second admonition, avoid him;

²² In the mean while prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that, by means of your prayers, I shall be granted to you.

¹⁴ [for we are made associates of the Christ if we retain the beginning of this confidence firm to the end]

¹ Therefore dropping the discourse of the government of the Christ, let us, without laying again a foundation of reformation from dead works, and of faith in God,

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more any sacrifice for sins,

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

³⁵ Therefore cast not away that confidence of yours which hath a great recompense of reward.

¹⁵ watching diligently that none fall short of the favour of God"that no root of bitterness spring up and occasion trouble, and many be defiled by it

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

²³ You know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty, with whom, if he come soon, I will see you.

² whom God the Father, according to his predetermination hath chosen, that by a sanctification of spirit they may obey, and be sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ; favour be to you, and may peace be multiplied.

²² Having, in obedience to the truth, purified your souls by the spirit for an unfeigned brotherly affection, love one another fervently with a pure heart, ²³ as you have been born again not of corruptible but of incorruptible seed, by the word of God, which liveth and endureth forever.

²³ as you have been born again not of corruptible but of incorruptible seed, by the word of God, which liveth and endureth forever. ²⁴ Because "all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as a flower of grass. the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth, ²⁵ but the decree of the Lord endureth forever", and this is the decree which hath been proclaimed as glad tidings for you;

⁸ and above all things have fervent love for one another: for this "love will cover a multitude of sins."

¹ With regard to the elders among you, being myself a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed, I give them this exhortation

¹³ The congregation at Babylon salute you. So doth Marcus my son.

⁷ and to piety, brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection, universal love;

¹² For this purpose I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though you already know them, and are established in the present truth.

¹ Now there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will introduce destructive sects, denying even the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves speedy destruction. ² And many will follow their pernicious courses, on the account of whom the way of the truth will be ill spoken of. ³ Indeed, with insatiable covetousness, they will, with smooth words, make merchandize of you. But the judgment prepared of old for them is not idle, nor is their destruction slumbering.

³ that which we have seen and heard, we announce to you, that you also may have communion with us. Now this communion of ours is with the Father, and with his son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And we write these things to you that your joy may be complete.

⁶ If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁵ But whosoever keepeth his word, in him indeed the love of" God is perfected. By this we know that we are in him ⁶ he who saith he abideth in him, ought to walk as he walked. ⁷ Brethren, I am not writing to you a new commandment but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning. This old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again I write to you a new commandment, a thing which is true in him, and in you. Because the darkness is past, and the light, the true light, now shineth,

¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

¹⁷ Now the world is passing away, and the desire thereof; but he who doth the will of God shall abide forever. ¹⁸ Children, the last period is come: and as you have heard that the Antichrist cometh, there are even now many Antichrists, by which we know that it is the last period. ¹⁹ They went out from us; but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. ²⁰ But to the end that they might be made manifest [because all are not of us] even you yourselves have an unction from the holy one, and know everyone. ²¹ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth; but because you know it, and because no kind of falsehood is of the truth.

²¹ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth; but because you know it, and because no kind of falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar; but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denieth the Father and the Son:

²² Who is the liar; but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denieth the Father and the Son: ²³ whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father. ²⁴ As for you, therefore, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you, then you will abide in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁴ As for you, therefore, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you, then you will abide in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁶ These things I have written to you with a view to them who are seducing you.

¹¹ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who loveth not his brother abideth in death. ¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer hath everlasting life abiding in him. ¹⁶ By this we know the love of God. Because he laid down his life for us, therefore we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ Whosoever hath worldly substance, and seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word, and with the tongue, but in deed, and in truth.

¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word, and with the tongue, but in deed, and in truth.

²³ Now this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his son Jesus Christ and love one another, as he hath commanded us.

¹ Beloved, trust not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God; for many false teachers, are gone forth into the world. ² By this you know the spirit of God; every spirit which acknowledged! Jesus Christ come in flesh, is of God. ³ And every spirit which doth not acknowledge Jesus. Christ come in flesh, is not of God. This indeed is that of Antichrist which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world:

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and every one who loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. ⁸ He who doth not love hath not known God, for God is love. ⁹ By this the love of God was manifested among us, because God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we may live by him. ¹⁰ In this is the love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be an atonement for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is the love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be an atonement for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us; we surely ought to love one another. ¹² No one hath ever seen God. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

²⁰ If anyone saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For how can he who doth not love his brother whom he hath seen, love God, whom he hath not seen?

³ for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments. Now his commandments are not grievous,

¹⁵ Now, if we know that he hearkeneth to us in whatever we may ask; we know that we obtain from him the petitions which we have asked.

¹ The elder to Electa Cyria and her children whom in truth I love [and not only I, but all who have known the truth]

¹ The elder to Electa Cyria and her children whom in truth I love [and not only I, but all who have known the truth] ² on account of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever:

² on account of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever: ³ with you be favour, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

³ with you be favour, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I was greatly rejoiced because I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received a commandment from the Father. ⁵ And I now intreat thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment; but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another;

⁵ And I now intreat thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment; but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another; ⁶ and this love is that we may walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you may walk therein. ⁷ Because there are many deceivers come into the world, who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ is come in flesh. [This is the deceiver, and the Antichrist] ⁸ Look to yourselves, that we may not lose our labour, but that we may receive ample wages. ⁹ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Christ, hath not God. He who abideth in the doctrine of the Christ hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one cometh to you, and doth not bring this doctrine, receive him not into your family; nor wish him success; ¹¹ for he who wisheth him success is a partaker with him in his evil works.

¹¹ for he who wisheth him success is a partaker with him in his evil works. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I determined not to commit them to paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and deliver them by word of mouth, that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of thy sister Electa salute thee. Amen.

¹³ The children of thy sister Electa salute thee. Amen.

³ For I was greatly rejoiced at the coming of the brethren, who bear testimony to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth.

¹³ I had many things to write, but I do not choose to write to thee with ink and pen;

¹³ I had many things to write, but I do not choose to write to thee with ink and pen; ¹⁴ but I hope to see thee soon, when we shall speak face to face. Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

¹⁴ but I hope to see thee soon, when we shall speak face to face. Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

¹¹ Behold I am coming quickly. Hold fast what thou hast, that none may take thy crown.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent who is called The Devil and Satan who leadeth the whole world astray. He was thrown on the earth and his angels were thrown with him.

¹⁴ and it leadeth astray the dwellers on the earth by the signs which it had power to do in the presence of the beast; commanding the inhabitants of die earth to make an image of the beast which had the wound of a sword and lived.

⁴ And I heard another voice out of heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that you may not partake of her sins and that you may not receive of her punishments.
