2 John 1

Matthew^{(i) 1} The elder to the electe Lady, and her children, whiche I loue in the trueth: and not I onelye, but also all that knowe the trueth, ² for the truethes sake, whyche dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer. ³ Wyth you be grace, mercye, and peace from God the father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ the sonne of the father, in trueth and loue. ⁴ I reioysed greatly, that I founde of thy children walking in trueth, as we haue receiued a commaundemente of the father. ⁵ And nowe beseche I the Ladye, not as though I wrote a newe commaundemente vnto the, but that same which we had from the beginning, that we should loue one another. ⁶ And this is the loue, that we shoulde walke after his commaundementes. Thys commaundemente is (that as ye haue hearde from the beginninge) ye shoulde walke in it. ⁷ For many deceyuers are entred into the worlde, whiche confesse not that Iesus Christe is come in the fleshe. Thys is a deceyuer and an Antichriste. ⁸ Loke on youre selues, that we lose not that we haue wrought but that we maye haue a full rewarde. ⁹ Whosoeuer transgresseth and bydeth not in the doctryne of Christe, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christe, hath both the father and the sonne. ¹⁰ Yf there come any vnto you, and bringe not this learninge, him receiue not to house, neither byd hym God spede. ¹¹ For he that biddeth him God spede, is partaker of his euyll dedes. ¹² I had manye thinges to wryte vnto you, neuerthelesse I woulde not wryte wyth paper & ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, & speake wyth you mouth to mouth, that oure ioye maye be full. ¹³ The sonnes of thy electe sister grete the. Amen.
