ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G3588 The G4245 elder, G1588 to the chosen G2959 lady, G2532 and G3588 to G5043 her children, G1473 G3739 whom G1473 I G25 love G1722 in G225 truth, G2532 and G3756 not G1473 I G3441 alone, G235 but G2532 also G3956 all G3588 the ones G1097 knowing G3588 the G225 truth;

2 G1223 through G3588 the G225 truth G3588 G3306 abiding G1722 in G1473 us, G2532 and G3326 [²with G1473 ³us G1510.8.3 ¹shall be] G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon.

3 G1510.8.3 There shall be G3326 with G1473 us G5484 favor, G1656 mercy, G1515 peace G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the father, G2532 and G3844 from G2962 the Lord G* Jesus G5547 Christ, G3588 the G5207 son G3588 of the G3962 father, G1722 in G225 truth G2532 and G26 love.

4 G5463 I rejoiced G3029 exceedingly G3754 that G2147 I have found G1537 of G3588 G5043 your children G1473 G4043 walking G1722 in G225 truth, G2531 as G1785 [²commandment G2983 ¹we received] G3844 from G3588 the G3962 father.

5 G2532 And G3568 now G2065 I ask G1473 you, G2959 lady, G3756 not G5613 as G1785 [⁴commandment G1125 ¹writing G1473 ²to you G2537 ³a new], G235 but G3739 which G2192 we had G575 from G746 the beginning, G2443 that G25 we should love G240 one another.

6 G2532 And G3778 this G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G26 love, G2443 that G4043 we should walk G2596 according to G3588 the G1785 commandments G1473 of his. G3778 This G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G1785 commandment G2531 as G191 you heard G575 from G746 the beginning, G2443 that G1722 in G1473 it G4043 you should walk.

7 G3754 For G4183 many G4108 deluded ones G1525 entered G1519 into G3588 the G2889 world, G3588 the ones G3361 not G3670 acknowledging G* Jesus G5547 Christ G2064 coming G1722 in G4561 flesh. G3778 This G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G4108 deluded one, G2532 and G3588 the G500 antichrist.

8 G991 Take heed G1438 of yourselves! G2443 that G3361 we should not lose G622 G3739 what things G2038 we worked, G235 but G3408 [³wage G4134 ²a full G618 ¹should accept].

9 G3956 Anyone G3588 G3845 violating G2532 and G3361 not G3306 abiding G1722 in G3588 the G1322 teaching G3588 of the G5547 Christ G2316 [³God G3756 ¹does not G2192 ²have]. G3588 The one G3306 abiding G1722 in G3588 the G1322 teaching G3588 of the G5547 Christ, G3778 this one G2532 [²even G3588 ³the G3962 ⁴father G2532 ⁵and G3588 ⁶the G5207 ⁷son G2192 ¹has].

10 G1536 If anyone G2064 comes G4314 to G1473 you, G2532 and G3778 this G3588 G1322 teaching G3756 does not G5342 bring, G3361 do not G2983 receive G1473 him G1519 in G3614 the house, G2532 and G5463 [³hail G1473 ⁴to him G3361 ¹do not G3004 ²say]!

11 G3588 For the one G1063 G3004 saying G1473 to him, G5463 Hail, G2841 participates with G3588 G2041 [³works G1473 ¹his G3588 G4190 ²evil].

12 G4183 Many things G2192 having G1473 to write to you, G1125 G3756 I do not want to G1014 G1223 with G5489 papyrus G2532 and G3188 ink; G235 but G1679 I hope G2064 to come G4314 to G1473 you, G2532 and G4750 mouth G4314 to G4750 mouth G2980 to speak, G2443 that G3588 G5479 our joy G1473 G1510.3 might be G4137 filling.

13 G782 [⁶greet G1473 ⁷you G3588 ¹The G5043 ²children G3588 G79 ⁵sister G1473 ³of your G3588 G1588 ⁴chosen]. G281 Amen.

4 G5463 [G5644] I rejoiced G3029 exceedingly G3754 that G2147 [G5758] I found G1537 of G4675 thy G5043 children G4043 [G5723] walking G1722 in G225 truth, G2531 as G2983 [G5627] we have received G1785 a commandment G3844 from G3962 the Father.

5 G2532 And G3568 now G2065 [G5719] I beseech G4571 thee, G2959 lady, G3756 not G5613 as though G1125 G1125 [G5719] I wrote G2537 a new G1785 commandment G4671 to thee, G235 but G3739 that which G2192 [G5707] we had G575 from G746 the beginning, G2443 that G25 [G5725] we love G240 one another.

6 G2532 And G3778 this G2076 [G5748] is G26 love, G2443 that G4043 [G5725] we walk G2596 according to G846 his G1785 commandments. G3778 This G2076 [G5748] is G1785 the commandment, G2443 That, G2531 as G191 [G5656] ye have heard G575 from G746 the beginning, G4043 [G5725] ye should walk G1722 in G846 it.

7 G3754 For G4183 many G4108 deceivers G1525 [G5627] have entered G1519 into G2889 the world, G3588 who G3670 [G5723] confess G3361 not G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed G2064 [G5740] as coming G1722 in G4561 the flesh. G3778 This G2076 [G5748] is G4108 a deceiver G2532 and G500 an anti-anointed.

8 G991 [G5720] Look G1438 to yourselves, G3363 0 that G622 [G5661] we lose G3363 not G3739 those things which G2038 [G5662] we have wrought, G235 but G618 [G5632] that we receive G4134 a full G3408 wage.

9 G3956 Every G3588 one G3845 [G5723] walking contrary to, G2532 and G3306 [G5723] abiding G3361 not G1722 in G1322 the teaching G5547 of Anointed, G2192 [G5719] hath G3756 not G2316 God. G3588 The one G3306 [G5723] abiding G1722 in G1322 the teaching G5547 of Anointed, G3778 he G2192 [G5719] hath G2532 both G3588 the G3962 Father G2532 and G3588 the G5207 Son.

10 G1536 0 If G1536 G5100 any one G2064 [G5736] cometh G4314 to G5209 you, G2532 and G5342 [G5719] bringeth G3756 not G5026 this G1322 teaching, G2983 [G5720] receive G846 him G3361 not G1519 into G3614 your house, G2532 G3361 neither G3004 [G5720] wish G846 him G5463 [G5721] greetings:

11 G1063 For G3004 [G5723] he that wisheth G846 him G5463 [G5721] greetings G2841 [G5719] is partaker G846 of his G4190 evil G2041 deeds.

12 G2192 [G5723] Having G4183 many things G1125 [G5721] to write G5213 to you, G1014 [G5675] I would G3756 not G1223 write with G5489 paper G2532 and G3188 ink: G235 but G1679 [G5719] I expect G2064 [G5629] to come G4314 to G5209 you, G2532 and G2980 [G5658] speak G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face, G2443 that G2257 our G5479 joy G5600 [G5753] may be G4137 [G5772] full.

13 G3588 The G5043 children G4675 of thine G3588 G1588 elect G3588 G79 sister G782 [G5736] greeteth G4571 thee. G281 Amen.

6 G2532 And G3778 this G2076 is [G5748] G26 love G2443 , that G4043 we walk [G5725] G2596 after G846 his G1785 commandments G3778 . This G2076 is [G5748] G1785 the commandment G2443 , That G2531 , as G191 ye have heard [G5656] G575 from G746 the beginning G4043 , ye should walk [G5725] G1722 in G846 it.

7 G3754 For G4183 many G4108 deceivers G1525 are entered [G5627] G1519 into G2889 the world G3588 , who G3670 confess [G5723] G3361 not G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G2064 is come [G5740] G1722 in G4561 the flesh G3778 . This G2076 is [G5748] G4108 a deceiver G2532 and G500 an antichrist.

8 G991 Look [G5720] G1438 to yourselves G3363 , that G622 we lose [G5661] G3363 not G3739 those things which G2038 we have wrought [G5662] G235 , but G618 that we receive [G5632] G4134 a full G3408 reward.

9 G3956 Whosoever G3845 transgresseth [G5723] G2532 , and G3306 abideth [G5723] G3361 not G1722 in G1322 the doctrine G5547 of Christ G2192 , hath [G5719] G3756 not G2316 God G3306 . He that abideth [G5723] G1722 in G1322 the doctrine G5547 of Christ G3778 , he G2192 hath [G5719] G2532 both G3962 the Father G2532 and G5207 the Son.

10 G1536 If G2064 there come [G5736] G1536 any G5100 G4314 unto G5209 you G2532 , and G5342 bring [G5719] G3756 not G5026 this G1322 doctrine G2983 , receive [G5720] G846 him G3361 not G1519 into G3614 your house G2532 , neither G3361 G3004 bid [G5720] G846 him G5463 God speed [G5721] :

11 G1063 For G3004 he that biddeth [G5723] G846 him G5463 God speed [G5721] G2841 is partaker [G5719] G846 of his G4190 evil G2041 deeds.

12 G2192 Having [G5723] G4183 many things G1125 to write [G5721] G5213 unto you G1014 , I would [G5675] G3756 not G1223 write with G5489 paper G2532 and G3188 ink G235 : but G1679 I trust [G5719] G2064 to come [G5629] G4314 unto G5209 you G2532 , and G2980 speak [G5658] G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face G2443 , that G2257 our G5479 joy G5600 may be [G5753] G4137 full [G5772] .

13 G5043 The children G4675 of thy G1588 elect G79 sister G782 greet [G5736] G4571 thee G281 . Amen.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The PRESBYTER to the lady ECLECTA and her children, whom I sincerely love, and not only I, but all true christians, ² in consideration of the true doctrine, we all profess, and in which we shall for ever persevere. ³ Grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ the son of the father, in consequence of your sincere piety, and social virtue. ⁴ It was a great satisfaction to me, to see the conduct of your children, was so agreeable to the directions, we received from the father. ⁵ and now, my lady, I beg our love may be mutual, since what I write, is no new prescription, but what was originally enjoin'd. ⁶ now love consists in the practice of the divine precepts. this is the precept you have originally receiv'd, as the rule of your conduct. ⁷ For there are many impostors started up in the world, who will not own that Jesus Christ was incarnate. such a one is an impostor and an anti-christ. ⁸ be upon your guard, that we may not lose the fruit of our labours, but that we may receive our full reward. ⁹ no renegado that deserts the doctrine of Christ, has any interest in the deity: he that adheres to the doctrine of Christ, has an interest both in the father, and in the son. ¹⁰ whoever comes to you unaccompanied with this doctrine, don't admit him to your house, nor treat him with the common term of civility. ¹¹ for he who shows that respect to such a man, is accessary to his wicked actions. ¹² I had many things to write to you, but I don't think it proper to commit them to paper and ink, because I hope to make you a visit, and deliver them by word of mouth; that so our joy may be compleat. ¹³ The children of your sister ECLECTA salute you.

1 G4245 The elder G1588 to the elect G2959 lady G2532 and G846 her G5043 children G3739 , whom G1473 I G25 [G5719] love G1722 in G225 the truth G2532 ; and G3756 not G1473 I G3441 only G235 , but G2532 also G3956 all G1097 [G5761] they that have known G225 the truth;

2 G1223 For G225 the truth's sake G3588 , which G3306 [G5723] dwelleth G1722 in G2254 us G2532 , and G2071 [G5704] shall be G3326 with G2257 us G1519 for G165 ever.

3 G5485 Grace G2071 [G5704] be G3326 with G5216 you G1656 , mercy G1515 , and peace G3844 , from G2316 God G3962 the Father G2532 , and G3844 from G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G5207 , the Son G3962 of the Father G1722 , in G225 truth G2532 and G26 love.

4 G5463 [G5644] I rejoiced G3029 greatly G3754 that G2147 [G5758] I found G1537 of G4675 thy G5043 children G4043 [G5723] walking G1722 in G225 truth G2531 , as G2983 [G5627] we have received G1785 a commandment G3844 from G3962 the Father.

5 G2532 And G3568 now G2065 [G5719] I beseech G4571 thee G2959 , lady G3756 , not G5613 as though G1125 G1125 [G5719] I wrote G2537 a new G1785 commandment G4671 to thee G235 , but G3739 that which G2192 [G5707] we had G575 from G746 the beginning G2443 , that G25 [G5725] we love G240 one another.

6 G2532 And G3778 this G2076 [G5748] is G26 love G2443 , that G4043 [G5725] we walk G2596 according to G846 his G1785 commandments G3778 . This G2076 [G5748] is G1785 the commandment G2443 , That G2531 , as G191 [G5656] ye have heard G575 from G746 the beginning G4043 [G5725] , ye should walk G1722 in G846 it.

8 G991 [G5720] Look G1438 to yourselves G3363 0 , that G622 [G5661] we lose G3363 not G3739 those things which G2038 [G5662] we have wrought G235 , but G618 [G5632] that we receive G4134 a full G3408 reward.

9 G3956 Whoever G3845 [G5723] transgresseth G2532 , and G3306 [G5723] abideth G3361 not G1722 in G1322 the doctrine G5547 of Christ G2192 [G5719] , hath G3756 not G2316 God G3306 [G5723] . He that abideth G1722 in G1322 the doctrine G5547 of Christ G3778 , he G2192 [G5719] hath G2532 both G3962 the Father G2532 and G5207 the Son.

12 G2192 [G5723] Having G4183 many things G1125 [G5721] to write G5213 to you G1014 [G5675] , I would G3756 not G1223 write with G5489 paper G2532 and G3188 ink G235 : but G1679 [G5719] I trust G2064 [G5629] to come G4314 to G5209 you G2532 , and G2980 [G5658] speak G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face G2443 , that G2257 our G5479 joy G5600 [G5753] may be G4137 [G5772] full.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder to a chosen Lady, and to the children of her, whom I love in truth, (and not I only; but also all those knowing the truth,) ² on account of the truth that abiding in us, and with us shall be for the age; ³ will be with you favor, mercy, peace from God a Father, and from lord Jesus Anointed the son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced greatly, because I have found of the children of thee walking in truth, as a commandment we received from her Father. ⁵ And now I entreat thee, Lady, not as a commandment writing to thee new, but which we had from beginning, that we should love each other. ⁶ And this is the love, that we should walk according to the commandment of him.

He that abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed; ¹¹ for he that bids him good speed shares in his evil deeds. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full. ¹³ The children of thy elect sister salute thee.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth, ² for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever. ³ Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known the truth, ² because of the truth that is remaining in us, and with us shall be to the age, ³ there shall be with you grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father;
⁵ and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another, ⁶ and this is the love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the beginning, that in it ye may walk,
⁷ because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist. ⁸ See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive; ⁹ every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son;
¹⁰ if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, `Hail!' ¹¹ for he who is saying to him, `Hail,' hath fellowship with his evil works.
¹² Many things having to write to you, I did not intend through paper and ink, but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full; ¹³ salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder to the chosen mistress in truth; (and not I only, but also all and to her children, whom I love they having known the truth;) ² For the truth remaining in us, and shall be with us forever. ³ There shall be with you grace, 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 that I found of thy children walking about in the truth, as we received a command from the Father. ⁵ And now I entreat thee, mistress, not as writing a new command, but what we had from the beginning, that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk about according to his commands. This is the command, That as ye heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. ⁷ For many cheats come into the world, they not acknowledging Jesus Christ coming in the flesh. This is the cheat and antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, lest we should destroy what things we have wrought, but we should receive a full reward. ⁹ Every one passing by, and not remaining in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He remaining in the teaching of Christ, the same also has the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If there come any to you, and bring not this teaching, receive ye him not into the household, and to rejoice tell him not: ¹¹ For he telling him to rejoice, partakes of his evil works. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I was not willing by paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to month, that our joy might be filled up. ¹³ The children of thy chosen sister greet thee. Amen.

1 G4245 The elder G1588 unto the elect G2959 lady G2532 and G846 her G5043 children, G3739 whom G1473 I G25 love G1722 in G225 truth; G2532 and G3756 not G1473 I G3441 only, G235 but G2532 also G3956 all G1097 they that know G225 the truth;

2 G1223 for G225 the truth's sake G3588 which G3306 abideth G1722 in G2254 us, G2532 and G2071 it shall be G3326 with G2257 us G1519 for G165 ever:

3 G5485 Grace, G1656 mercy, G1515 peace G2071 shall be G3326 with G2257 us, G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father, G2532 and G3844 from G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G5207 the Son G3962 of the Father, G1722 in G225 truth G2532 and G26 love.

4 G5463 I rejoice G3029 greatly G3754 that G2147 I have found G1537 certain of G4675 thy G5043 children G4043 walking G1722 in G225 truth, G2531 even as G2983 we received G1785 commandment G3844 from G3962 the Father.

5 G2532 And G3568 now G2065 I beseech G4571 thee, G2959 lady, G3756 not G5613 as G1125 though I wrote G4671 to thee G2537 a new G1785 commandment, G235 but G2443 that G3739 which G2192 we had G575 from G746 the beginning, G2443 that G25 we love G240 one another.

6 G2532 And G3778 this G2076 is G26 love, G2443 that G4043 we should walk G2596 after G846 his G1785 commandments. G3778 This G2076 is G1785 the commandment, G2443 even G2531 as G191 ye heard G575 from G746 the beginning, G4043 that ye should walk G1722 in G846 it.

7 G3754 For G4183 many G4108 deceivers G1525 are gone forth G1519 into G2889 the world, G3670 even they that confess G3361 not G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G2064 cometh G1722 in G4561 the flesh. G3778 This G2076 is G4108 the deceiver G2532 and G500 the antichrist.

8 G991 Look G1438 to yourselves, G2443 that G622 ye lose G3361 not G3739 the things which G2038 we have wrought, G235 but G618 that ye receive G3408 a G4134 full G3408 reward.

9 G3956 Whosoever G3845 goeth G2532 onward and G3306 abideth G3361 not G1722 in G1322 the teaching G5547 of Christ, G2192 hath G3756 not G2316 God: G3306 he that abideth G1722 in G1322 the teaching, G5547 G2192 the same hath G2532 both G3962 the Father G2532 and G5207 the Son.

10 G1487 If G5100 any G2064 one cometh G4314 unto G5209 you, G2532 and G5342 bringeth G3756 not G3778 this G1322 teaching, G2983 receive G846 him G3361 not G1519 into G2532 your house, G3004 and give G846 him G3361 no G5463 greeting:

11 G1063 for G3004 he that giveth G846 him G5463 greeting G2841 partaketh G2041 in G846 his G4190 evil G2041 works.

12 G2192 Having G4183 many G1125 things to write G5213 unto you, G1014 I would G3756 not G1223 write them with G5489 paper G2532 and G3188 ink: G235 but G1679 I hope G2064 to come G4314 unto G5209 you, G2532 and G2980 to speak G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face, G2443 that G5209 your G5479 joy G5600 may be G4137 made full.

13 G5043 The children G79 of G4675 thine G1588 elect G79 sister G782 salute G4571 thee.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all they that know the truth, ² for the truth's sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever: ³ Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoice greatly that I have found certain of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. ⁷ For many deceivers are entered into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that we lose not the things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. ⁹ Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God; he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: ¹¹ for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works. ¹² Having many things to write unto you, I would not write them with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full. ¹³ The children of thine elect sister salute thee.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Elder, unto an elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not, I, alone, but all those also who understand the truth,–– ² For the sake of the truth that abideth in us, and, with us, shall be unto times age–abiding, ³ Favour, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced exceedingly, in that I had found, from among thy children, such as were walking in truth, even as, a commandment, we received from the Father.
⁵ And, now, I request thee, lady, not as writing, a new commandment, unto thee, but one which we were holding from the beginning––That we should be loving one another. ⁶ And, this, is love, that we should be walking according to his commandments: This, is, the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that, therein, ye should be walking.
⁷ Because, many deceivers, have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh: This, is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned,––but, a full reward, ye may duly receive. ⁹ Every one that taketh a lead, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not, God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same, hath, both the Father and the Son.
¹⁰ If anyone cometh unto you and, this teaching, doth not bring, be not receiving him home, and, Joy to thee! do not say; ¹¹ For, he that biddeth him rejoice, hath fellowship with his wicked works.
¹² Though I had many things, unto you, to write, I was not minded [to say them] with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and, mouth to mouth, to talk,––that your joy may be made full. ¹³ The children of thy chosen sister salute thee.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To an eminent Christian Lady, and to her Children, from the Officer of the Church. I sincerely love you all, and not I only, but also all those who have learned to know the Truth. ² We love you for the sake of that Truth which is always in our hearts; yes, and it will be ours for ever. ³ Blessing, mercy, and peace will be ours--the gift of God, the Father, and of Jesus Christ, the Father's Son--in a life of truth and love. ⁴ It was a great joy to me to find the lives of some of your children guided by the Truth, in obedience to the command that we received from the Father. ⁵ And now, I pray you, Lady--not as though I were writing a new command for you; no, it is the command which we had from the first--Let us love one another. ⁶ And this is love--to live in obedience to the Father's commands. This is the Command as you learned from the first, to live in a spirit of love. ⁷ I say this because many impostors have left us to go into the world--men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ come in our human nature. It is that which marks a man as an impostor and an anti-Christ. ⁸ Take care that you do not lose the fruit of all our work; rather, reap the benefit of it in full. ⁹ Every one who goes beyond the limits of the Teaching of the Christ has failed to find God; the man who keeps to that Teaching--he has found both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you and does not bring this Teaching, do not receive him into your house or welcome him; ¹¹ for the man who welcomes him is sharing with him in his wicked work. ¹² Though I have a great deal to say to you, I would rather not trust it to paper and ink, but I am hoping to come and see you, and to speak with you face to face, so that your joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your eminent sister send you their greetings.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom in truth I love with divine love; and not I, but also those having known the truth; ² on account of the truth which abides in us, and shall be with us forever. ³ Grace, mercy, peace, shall be with us from God our Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in divine love. ⁴ I rejoice exceedingly because I have found some of thy children walking about in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I entreat thee, O Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another with divine love. ⁶ And this is the divine love, that we may walk about according to his commandments; this is the commandment, That, as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk about in it. ⁷ Because many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh; the same is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that you may not destroy those things which you have wrought, but may receive a full reward. ⁹ Every one going forth, and not abiding in the teaching of Christ, has not God; the one abiding in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine; do not receive him into your house, and do not bid him God speed: ¹¹ for the one bidding him God speed partakes of his evil deeds. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and mouth to mouth to speak to you, in order that our joy may be full. ¹³ The children of thy elect sister salute thee.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth, ² for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. ³ Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father. ⁵ And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another. ⁶ The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning. ⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world--men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is 'the deceiver' and 'the anti-Christ.' ⁸ Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward. ⁹ No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell. ¹¹ He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds. ¹² I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete. ¹³ The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder to an elect lady and her children whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth— ² for the truth's sake which abides in us, and will be with us forever: ³ Grace, mercy, peace, shall be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced exceedingly, because I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech you, lady, not as writing a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to His commandment. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. ⁷ Because many deceivers went out into the world, who confess not Jesus Christ as coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-Christ. ⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we wrought, but that ye receive a full reward. ⁹ Every one who leads forward, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and say not to him, "Greeting," ¹¹ for he that says to him, "Greeting," partakes in his evil works. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I was not willing to write them with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that your joy may be made full. ¹³ The children of your elect sister salute you.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The presbyter, to the elect Lady and her children whom I love in the Truth (and not only I but all who know the Truth) ² for the sake of the Truth which remains within us and will be with us for ever: ³ grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I was overjoyed to find some of your children leading the true Life, as we were commanded to do by the Father. ⁵ And now I entreat you, Lady — not as though I were writing you any new command, it is the command which we have had from the very beginning — let us love one another. ⁶ To live by his commands, that is what love means: and the command is, live in love as you have learned to do from the very beginning. ⁷ I say this, because a number of impostors have emerged in the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; that marks the real 'impostor' and 'antichrist.' ⁸ Watch yourselves; you must not lose what you have been working for, but gain a full reward. ⁹ Anyone who is 'advanced' and will not remain by the doctrine of Christ, does not possess God: he who remains by the doctrine of Christ possesses both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not admit him to the house — do not even greet him, ¹¹ for he who greets him shares in his wicked work. ¹² I have a great deal to write to you, but I do not mean to use ink and paper; I hope to visit you and have a talk with you, so that your joy may be unimpaired. ¹³ The children of your elect Sister greet you.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I truly love—and not only I but all who know the truth— ² because of the truth that stays in our hearts and will be with us forever; ³ blessing, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, in truth and love. ⁴ It makes me exceedingly happy to find that some of your children are guided by truth, just as we have been commanded to be by the Father. ⁵ And now I beg you, my lady—not as though I were writing you any new command, but one which we have had from the beginning—let us love one another. ⁶ Love means this, that we be guided by his commands. The command, as you have heard from the beginning, is to be guided by love. ⁷ For many impostors have gone out into the world—men who do not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in human form. That is the mark of the impostor and the Antichrist. ⁸ Look out for yourselves, take care not to lose what we have worked for, but make sure that you are paid for it in full. ⁹ Anyone who goes too far and does not keep to the teaching of Christ has not God. It is the man who holds to the teaching who has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you without bringing this teaching, do not let him come into the house or bid him good morning. ¹¹ For anyone who bids him good morning shares in his wicked work. ¹² Though I have a great deal to write to you, I would rather not write it with paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you, and talk with you face to face, so that your happiness may be complete. ¹³ The children of your chosen sister wish to be remembered to you.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THE Elder to the chosen Lady and her children, whom I love in truth (and not I alone, but also all who have come to know the truth) ² for the sake of the truth which remains in us and will be with us forever: ³ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children living in truth, as we received command from the Father. ⁵ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another. ⁶ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it. ⁷ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist. ⁸ Guard yourselves so as not to lose what we have worked for, but so that you may gain a full reward. ⁹ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house and do not bid him welcome. ¹¹ He who bids him welcome becomes a sharer in his wicked works. ¹² I have much to write to you, but I will not do it with paper and ink. I hope to be with you soon and to speak face to face so that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your chosen sister send greetings to you.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth. ² I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. ³ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love. ⁴ I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love. ⁷ I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist. ⁸ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward. ⁹ Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting. ¹¹ For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work. ¹² I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full. ¹³ The children of your elect sister send you greeting.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THE minister, to the mother church, and her children, those whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all those who have known the truth, ² For the sake of the truth which dwells in us and is with us for ever, ³ Grace be with us, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children living in the truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech you, O mother church, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should follow it. ⁷ For many deceivers have appeared in the world, who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that you lose not those things which you have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward. ⁹ Whosoever transgresses, and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who abides in His doctrine, has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not welcome him to your house, neither bid him to eat: ¹¹ For he who bids him to eat is partaker of his evil works. ¹² I have many things to say to you, which I do not want to write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. ¹³ The children of your elect sister Church greet you. Grace be with you. Amen.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I am loving in truth, and not I only, but all also who know the truth, ² because of the truth which is remaining in us, and will be with us for the eon." ³ With us will be grace, mercy, peace from God, the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love." ⁴ I rejoiced very much that I have found your children walking in truth, according as we obtained a precept from the Father." ⁵ And now I am asking you, lady, not as writing a new precept to you, but a precept which we have from the beginning, that we may be loving one another." ⁶ And this is love, that we may be walking according to His precepts. This is the precept, according as you hear from the beginning, that you may be walking in it;" ⁷ for many deceivers came out into the world, who are not avowing Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist." ⁸ Be looking to yourselves, that you should not be destroying that for which you work, but you may be getting full wages." ⁹ Everyone who is taking the lead and not remaining in the teaching of Christ has not God. He who is remaining in the teaching, this one has the Father as well as the Son." ¹⁰ If anyone is coming to you and is not bringing this teaching, be not taking him into your home, and say not to him, "Rejoice!" ¹¹ For he who is saying to him to be rejoicing is participating in his wicked acts. ¹² Having much to write to you, I resolved not to do it with paper and ink, but I am expecting to come to you and to speak mouth to mouth, that your joy may be full." ¹³ The children of your chosen sister are greeting you.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I truly love, and not only I but all who know the truth, ² because of the truth that lives on in our hearts and will be with us forever: ³ spiritual blessing, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, in truth and love. ⁴ I am happy to find that some of your children are living by the truth, just as we had been commanded from the Father to do. ⁵ And now I beg you, my lady, not as though I were writing you a new command, but one which we had from the beginning, that we continue to love one another. ⁶ Now love means this, that we keep on living in accordance with His commands. The command is this, that we continue to live in love. ⁷ For many impostors have gone out into the world, men who do not own that Jesus Christ continues to come in human form. A person like this is the impostor and the Antichrist. ⁸ Look out for yourselves, so as not to lose what we have worked for, but so as to get your full reward. ⁹ No one has God, who goes too far and fails to stay by the teaching of Christ. Whoever stays by this teaching has the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone continuously comes to see you without bringing this teaching, you must stop welcoming him to your house and stop bidding him good morning, ¹¹ For whoever keeps on bidding him good morning is sharing in his wicked works. ¹² Though I have much to write you, I do not choose to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that your happiness may be complete, ¹³ The children of your chosen sister wish to be remembered to you.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true; ² Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever: ³ May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love. ⁴ It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father. ⁵ And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another. ⁶ And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it. ⁷ Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist. ⁸ Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward. ⁹ Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love: ¹¹ For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works. ¹² Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full. ¹³ The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love.

SALUTATION
The elder: To the select lady ^* and her children, whom I love in the truth: ^{*lady: feminine of adoni} and not I only, but also all who know the truth; ² because of the truth abiding in us being with us to the eons. ³ Charism, mercy and shalom be with you; from Elohim the Father and from Adonay Yah Shua Messiah the Son of the Father in truth and love. ⁴ I cheer extremely to find some of your children walking in truth, exactly as we took a misvah from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I scribed a new misvah to you, but what we had from the beginning - to love one another. ⁶ And this is love: to walk after his misvoth. This is the misvah, that exactly as you heard from the beginning - walk in it. ⁷
THE ANTIMESSIAH
Because many seducers enter the cosmos, who profess not that Yah Shua Messiah is come in the flesh. This is the seducer and the antimessiah. ^{1 John 2:18, 22, 4:3} ⁸ Look to yourselves - that we lose not what we worked but that we take a full reward. ⁹ Whoever transgresses and abides not in the doctrine of the Messiah, has not Elohim: whoever abides in the doctrine of the Messiah, he has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any come to you and bring not this doctrine, neither take him into your house, nor word to him, Cheers!: ¹¹ For whoever words him, Cheers! partakes of his evil works. ¹²
FINAL SALUTE
Having much to scribe to you, I will not through sheet and ink: but I hope to come to you and speak mouth to mouth to fulfill/shalam our cheer. ¹³ The children of your select sister salute you. Amen.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ [This is being written by] the elder to the lady chosen [by God], and to her children [Note: The terms “lady” and “children” here refer to a congregation and the Christians who belong to it. See I Peter 5:13; II John 13], whom I love in the truth. [Note: Perhaps this phrase means “whom I truly love”]. And I am not the only one [to love you], but all those [other congregations] who know the truth [of God], also love you. ² [We all love you] because of the truth which continues to live in our hearts and will be with us forever. ³ Unearned favor, mercy and peace will be with us from God, the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, in truth and love [i.e., truth and love will accompany the other blessings]. ⁴ I was very happy when I learned that some of your children [i.e., members of the congregation] are living in [harmony with the] truth, just as we have been commanded to do by the Father. ⁵ And now I ask you, lady [See verse 1], not as though writing a new commandment to you, but [I wanted to remind you of] one that we had [heard] from the beginning [of Christ’s ministry]: [It is] that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is [the true meaning of] love: That we should live in obedience to God’s commandments. And this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live in it [i.e., live a life of love]. ⁷ For many deceivers have begun circulating in the world; they are those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come [to earth] in a physical body. Such a person is the deceiver and the antichrist [See I John 2:18f]. ⁸ Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you do not lose what we [Note: Some Greek manuscripts say “you”] worked for [i.e., the spiritual blessings you have acquired], but [continue faithful] so that you will receive a full reward. [See Luke 12:47-48; James 3:1; Matt. 20:1-15]. ⁹ Every person who does not continue to follow the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God [in his life]. [But], the person who continues to follow in the teaching [of Christ] has both the Father and the Son [in his life]. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you [i.e., to your meetings] who does not bring this teaching [about Christ], you should not welcome him into your home or give him [any] greetings [i.e., suggesting approval or endorsement]. ¹¹ For the person who greets him [with approval] participates in his evil deeds [i.e., in his false teaching]. ¹² I have many [more] things to write to you about, but will not do so with paper and ink, since I hope to visit you [soon] and speak to you in person, so that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children [i.e., members] of your chosen sister [church] send you their greetings. [See verse 1].

1 G4245 The elder, G1588 to the chosen G2959 lady G2532 and G846 her G5043 children, G3739 whom G1473 I G25 love G1722 in G225 truth; G2532 and G3756 not G1473 I G3441 only, G235 but G2532 also G3956 all G1097 those who know G225 the truth;

2 G1223 for G225 the truth's sake, G3588 which G3306 remains G1722 in G2254 us, G2532 and G2071 it will be G3326 with G2257 us G1519 G165 forever:

3 G5485 Grace, G1656 mercy, G1515 and peace G2071 will be G3326 with G2257 us, G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father, G2532 and G3844 from G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G5207 the Son G3962 of the Father, G1722 in G225 truth G2532 and G26 love.

4 G5463 I rejoice G3029 greatly G3754 that G2147 I have found G1537 some of G4675 your G5043 children G4043 walking G1722 in G225 truth, G2531 even as G2983 we have been G1785 commanded G3844 by G3962 the Father.

5 G2532 G3568 Now G2065 I beg G4571 you, G2959 dear lady, G3756 not G5613 as G1125 though I wrote G4671 to you G2537 a new G1785 commandment, G235 but G2443 that G3739 which G2192 we had G575 from G746 the beginning, G2443 that G25 we love G240 one another.

6 G2532 G3778 This G2076 is G26 love, G2443 that G4043 we should walk G2596 according G846 to his G1785 commandments. G3778 This G2076 is G1785 the commandment, G2443 even G2531 as G191 you heard G575 from G746 the beginning, G4043 that you should walk G1722 in G846 it.

7 G3754 For G4183 many G4108 deceivers G1525 have gone out G1519 into G2889 the world, G3361 those who don't G3670 confess G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G2064 came G1722 in G4561 the flesh. G3778 This G2076 is G4108 the deceiver G2532 and G500 the Antichrist.

8 G991 Watch G1438 yourselves, G2443 that G3361 we don't G622 lose G3739 the things which G2038 we have accomplished, G235 but G618 that we receive G3408 a G4134 full G3408 reward.

9 G3956 Whoever G3845 transgresses G2532 and G3361 doesn't G3306 remain G1722 in G1322 the teaching G5547 of Christ, G3756 doesn't G2192 have G2316 God. G3306 He who remains G1722 in G1322 the teaching, G5547 G2192 the same has G2532 both G3962 the Father G2532 and G5207 the Son.

10 G1487 If G5100 anyone G2064 comes G4314 to G5209 you, G2532 and G3361 doesn't G5342 bring G3778 this G1322 teaching, G3756 don't G2983 receive G846 him G1519 into G2532 your house, G3361 and don't G3004 G5463 welcome G846 him,

11 G1063 for G3004 he who G5463 welcomes G846 him G2841 participates G2041 in G846 his G4190 evil G2041 works.

12 G2192 Having G4183 many G1125 things to write G5213 to you, G3756 I don't G1014 want G1223 to do so with G5489 paper G2532 and G3188 ink, G235 but G1679 I hope G2064 to come G4314 to G5209 you, G2532 and G2980 to speak G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face, G2443 that G2257 our G5479 joy G5600 may be G4137 made full.

13 G5043 The children G79 of G4675 your G1588 chosen G79 sister G782 greet G4571 you. G281 Amen.

1 G4245 The elder G1588 to the elect G2959 lady G5043 and her children, G3739 whom G25 I love G225 in the truth; G3441 and not I only, G2532 but also G3956 all G2192 they that have G1097 known G225 the truth;

2 G225 For the truth’s G3588 sake, which G3306 dwells G165 in us, and shall be with us for ever.

3 G5485 Grace G1656 be with you, mercy, G1515 and peace, G2316 from God G3962 the Father, G2962 and from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G5207 the Son G3962 of the Father, G225 in truth G26 and love.

4 G5463 I rejoiced G3029 greatly G2147 that I found G5043 of your children G4043 walking G225 in truth, G2192 as we have G2983 received G1785 a commandment G3962 from the Father.

5 G3568 And now G2065 I beseech G2959 you, lady, G1125 not as though I wrote G2537 a new G1785 commandment G3739 to you, but that which G2192 we had G746 from the beginning, G25 that we love G240 one G240 another.

6 G3778 And this G26 is love, G4043 that we walk G2596 after G1785 his commandments. G3778 This G1785 is the commandment, G191 That, as you have heard G746 from the beginning, G4043 you should walk in it.

7 G4183 For many G4108 deceivers G1525 are entered G1519 into G2889 the world, G3588 who G3670 confess G2424 not that Jesus G5547 Christ G2064 is come G4561 in the flesh. G3778 This G4108 is a deceiver G500 and an antichrist.

8 G991 Look G1438 to yourselves, G622 that we lose G3739 not those things which G2038 we have worked, G618 but that we receive G4134 a full G3408 reward.

9 G3956 Whoever G3588 G3845 transgresses, G3306 and stays G1322 not in the doctrine G5547 of Christ, G2192 has G2316 not God. G3306 He that stays G1322 in the doctrine G5547 of Christ, G2192 he has G2532 both G3962 the Father G5207 and the Son.

10 G1487 If G2064 there come G5100 any G5342 to you, and bring G5026 not this G1322 doctrine, G2983 receive G1519 him not into G3614 your house, G3366 neither G3004 bid G5463 him God speed:

11 G3004 For he that bids G5463 him God speed G2841 is partaker G4190 of his evil G2041 deeds.

12 G2192 Having G4183 many G1125 things to write G1014 to you, I would G5489 not write with paper G3188 and ink: G1679 but I trust G2064 to come G2980 to you, and speak G4750 face G4750 to face, G5479 that our joy G4137 may be full.

13 G5043 The children G1588 of your elect G79 sister G782 greet G281 you. Amen.

2 G1223 For G225 the truth's sake, G3588 which G3306 dwells G1722 in G2254 us, G2532 and G2071 shall be G3326 with G2257 us G1519 for G165 ever.

3 G5485 Grace G2071 be G3326 with G2257 you, G1656 mercy, G1515 and peace, G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father, G2532 and G3844 from G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G5207 the Son G3962 of the Father, G1722 in G225 truth G2532 and G26 love.

4 G5463 I rejoiced G3029 greatly G3754 that G2147 I found G1537 some of G4675 your G5043 children G4043 walking G1722 in G225 truth, G2531 as G2983 we have received G1785 a commandment G3844 from G3962 the Father.

5 G2532 And G3568 now G2065 I beg G4571 you, G2959 lady, G3756 not G5613 as G1125 though I wrote G2537 a new G1785 commandment G4671 unto you, G235 but G2443 that G3739 which G2192 we had G575 from G746 the beginning, G2443 that G25 we love G240 one another.

This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. ⁷ Because many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, lest we should lose those things for which we worked, but that we should receive a full reward. ⁹ Everyone who transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The old person, to a chosen-out (selected) Lady (feminine form: mistress; lord, female owner or authority), and to her children (born-ones), whom I love in truth and in union with reality (or: I truly love), and not I only, but also all those having come to know the Truth by personal experience and are now having insight of Reality, ² because of the Truth and Reality [which is] continuously remaining (abiding; dwelling; staying) within us – and shall continue being with us on into the Age; ³ grace (or: Joyous favor), mercy [and] peace [= shalom] will continuously be with us from beside (or: in the presence of; along with) God the Father, and from beside (or: in the presence of; along with) Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, within Truth (or: in the midst of reality) and Love. ⁴ I was made exceedingly glad and joyful (or: was greatly graced) because I have met with and found folks from among your children [who are] continuously walking about within Truth (or: = living their lives in union with reality), according as we took in hand an implanted goal (impartation of the finished product within; inward purposed directive) from beside the Father. ⁵ And so now I am asking you, Lady, not as writing a new implanted goal (impartation of the finished product within; inward directive of destiny) to you, but one which we have had from [the] beginning (or: one which we originally had), to the intent that we may continuously be loving each other. ⁶ And this is Love: that we may be continuously walking about (= go on living our lives and ordering our behavior) according to (or: down from; in line with; on the level of; in the sphere of; commensurate with) His implanted goals (impartations of the finished destiny within; inward directives). This is the imparted and implanted goal, even as you heard from [the] beginning (or: even which you originally heard): that you would (or: could) be continuously walking about within it (= go on living your lives in union with it)! ⁷ Since many wandering-astray folks (or: many who lead astray; many deceivers) went out into the ordered System (world of religion, secular culture, economics and government) – those not continuously speaking like (saying the same thing as; confessing) Jesus presently coming in flesh (= a physical body; or: = in [their] inner self): this is the person wandering astray, even the one in opposition to Christ (the one instead of Christ; the one in place of Christ; or: the anti-anointing) – ⁸ be continuously seeing to yourselves (looking at yourselves), to the intent that you people would (or: may) not destroy (or: lose) what we [other MSS: you folks] did (produced; worked for), but rather may receive back full wages. ⁹ Everyone leading forward (going ahead; leading in advance; [some MSS: transgressing]) and yet not remaining (abiding; dwelling; staying) within Christ's teaching does not have God; the person remaining (dwelling; abiding; staying) within that teaching, this one continuously has (or: holds; possesses) both Father and Son (or: the Father and the Son). ¹⁰ If a certain person is continually coming toward you and yet is not normally carrying (or: habitually bearing; continually bringing) this teaching, do not repeatedly take him into a house, and do not continuously say to him, "Rejoice!" (= giving him a greeting). ¹¹ You see, the person continually telling him to be rejoicing (= greeting him as an associate) is continually sharing in common existence with his worthless deeds (having fellowship with his acts which bring a gush of misery; maintaining partnership with his wicked and evil works; participating in his painful, toilsome and useless actions). ¹² Having many things to write to you folks, I resolved not to – by means of paper and ink. For I am expecting (or: hoping) to come to y'all and to speak mouth-to-mouth, so that our [other MSS: your] joy can be "having been filled" (= be completely happy)! ¹³ The children of your chosen-out (selected) sister (= female fellow believer; or: = sister community of summoned forth folks) draw you to themselves (= greet you).

This is the commandment that you heard from the beginning. You should walk in it. ⁷ For many deceivers have gone into the world. They do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Watch yourselves that you do not lose the things that we worked to produce. You may receive a full reward. ⁹ Whoever pushes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God! He who dwells in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ Do not receive anyone into your house who comes to you and does not bring this teaching. Give him no greeting! ¹¹ He who greets him partakes of his evil works. ¹² I have many things to write you.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Greetings from JohnFrom: The Elder
To: The chosen lady and her children, whom I genuinely love, and not only I but also all who know the truth, ² that is present in us and will be with us forever.
³ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus the Messiah, the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
⁴ Living in the TruthI was overjoyed to find some of your children living truthfully, just as the Father has commanded us. ⁵ Dear lady, I am now requesting of you that we all continue to love one another. It is not as though I am writing to give you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning. ⁶ And this is what demonstrates love: that we live according to God’s commandments. Just as you have heard from the beginning what he commanded, you must live by it.
⁷ Reject False TeachersFor many deceivers have gone out into the world. They refuse to acknowledge Jesus the Messiah as having become human. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist. ⁸ See to it that you don’t destroy what we have worked for, but that you receive your full reward. ⁹ Everyone who does not remain true to the teaching of the Messiah, but goes beyond it, does not have God. The person who remains true to the teaching of the Messiah has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you but does not present his teachings, do not receive him into your house or even welcome him, ¹¹ because the one who welcomes him shares in his evil deeds.
¹² Final GreetingAlthough I have a great deal to write to you, I would prefer not to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your chosen sister greet you.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I alone, but also all those who know the truth— ² because of the truth that resides in us and will be with us _⌊forever_⌋*. ³ Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love. ⁴ _⌊I was very glad_⌋* because I found some of your children walking in the truth, just as _⌊the Father commanded us_⌋*. ⁵ And now I ask you, lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. ⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess Jesus Christ* coming in the flesh. This person is the deceiver and the antichrist! ⁸ Watch yourselves that you do not lose what we have worked for, but receive a full reward. ⁹ Everyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching—this person has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not speak a greeting to him, ¹¹ because the one who speaks a greeting to him shares in his evil deeds. ¹² Although* I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so by means of paper and ink, but I hope to be with you and to speak _⌊face to face_⌋*, so that your* joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your elect sister greet you.

1 G4245 ¶ L’ancien G2959 , à Kyria G1588 l’élue G2532 et G846 à ses G5043 enfants G3739 , que G1473 j G25 ’aime G5719 G1722 dans G225 la vérité G2532 , — et G3756 ce n’est pas G1473 moi G3441 seul G235 qui les aime, mais G2532 aussi G3956 tous G1097 ceux qui ont connu G5761 G225 la vérité, —

2 G1223 à cause de G225 la vérité G3588 qui G3306 demeure G5723 G1722 en G2254 nous G2532 , et G2071 qui sera G5704 G3326 avec G2257 nous G1519 pour G165 l’éternité:

3 G5485 que la grâce G1656 , la miséricorde G2532 et G1515 la paix G2071 soient G5704 G3326 avec G5216 vous G3844 de la part de G2316 Dieu G3962 le Père G2532 et G3844 de la part de G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G5207 , le Fils G3962 du Père G1722 , dans G225 la vérité G26 et la charité !

4 G3029 J’ai été fort G5463 réjoui G5644 G2147 de trouver G5758 G3754 G1537 de G4675 tes G5043 enfants G4043 qui marchent G5723 G1722 dans G225 la vérité G2531 , selon G1785 le commandement G2983 que nous avons reçu G5627 G3844 du G3962 Père.

5 G2532 ¶ Et G3568 maintenant G4571 , ce que je te G2065 demande G5719 G2959 , Kyria G3756 , — non G5613 comme G4671 te G1125 prescrivant G5719 G5625 G1125 G5723 G1785 un commandement G2537 nouveau G235 , mais G3739 celui G2192 que nous avons eu G5707 G575 dès G746 le commencement G2443 , — c’est que G25 nous nous aimions G5725 G240 les uns les autres.

6 G2532 Et G26 l’amour G3778 consiste G2076 G5748 G2443 à G4043 marcher G5725 G2596 selon G846 ses G1785 commandements G3778 . C G2076 ’est G5748 G1785 là le commandement G1722 dans G2443 G846 lequel G4043 vous devez marcher G5725 G2531 , comme G191 vous l’avez appris G5656 G575 dès G746 le commencement.

7 G3754 ¶ Car G4183 plusieurs G4108 séducteurs G1525 sont entrés G5627 G1519 dans G2889 le monde G3588 , qui G3670 ne confessent G5723 G3361 point G2424 que Jésus G5547 -Christ G2064 est venu G5740 G1722 en G4561 chair G3778 . Celui G2076 qui est G5748 G4108 tel, c’est le séducteur G2532 et G500 l’antéchrist.

8 G991 Prenez garde G5720 G1438 à vous-mêmes G3363 , afin que G0 G622 vous ne perdiez G5661 G3363 pas G3739 le fruit G2038 de votre travail G5662 G235 , mais G618 que vous receviez G5632 G4134 une pleine G3408 récompense.

9 G3956 Quiconque G3845 va plus loin G5723 G2532 et G3306 ne demeure G5723 G3361 pas G1722 dans G1322 la doctrine G5547 de Christ G2192 n’a G5719 G3756 point G2316 Dieu G3778 ; celui G3306 qui demeure G5723 G1722 dans G5547 cette G1322 doctrine G2192 a G5719 G2532 G3962 le Père G2532 et G5207 le Fils.

10 G1536 ¶ Si quelqu’un G5100 G2064 vient G5736 G4314 à G5209 vous G2532 et G5342 n’apporte G5719 G3756 pas G5026 cette G1322 doctrine G846 , ne le G2983 recevez G5720 G3361 pas G1519 dans G3614 votre maison G2532 , et G846 ne lui G3004 dites G5720 G3361 pas G5463 : Salut G5721 !

11 G1063 car G846 celui qui lui G3004 dit G5723 G5463 : Salut G5721 G2841 ! participe G5719 G846 à ses G4190 mauvaises G2041 œuvres.

12 G2192 ¶ Quoique j’eusse G5723 G4183 beaucoup de choses G5213 à vous G1125 écrire G5721 G3756 , je n’ai pas G1014 voulu G5675 G1223 le faire avec G5489 le papier G2532 et G3188 l’encre G235 ; mais G1679 j’espère G5719 G2064 aller G5629 G4314 chez G5209 vous G2532 , et G2980 vous parler G5658 G4750 bouche G4314 à G4750 bouche G2443 , afin que G2257 notre G5479 joie G5600 soit G5753 G4137 parfaite G5772 .

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Старейшината до избраната госпожа и нейните деца, които аз любя в истина; и не само аз, а и всички, които са познали истината, ² заради истината, която обитава в нас и ще бъде с нас до века: ³ благодат, милост, мир ще бъдат с нас от Бог Отец и от Господ Иисус Христос, Сина на Отца, в истина и любов. ⁴ Много се зарадвах, че намерих някои от децата ти да ходят в истината, както приехме заповед от Отца. ⁵ И сега, госпожо, умолявам те, не като че ти пиша нова заповед, а тази, която имахме отначало: да се любим един друг. ⁶ И любовта е това: да ходим според Неговите заповеди. Тази е заповедта, в която трябва да ходите, както сте чули отначало. ⁷ Защото много измамници излязоха в света, които не изповядват идването на Иисус Христос в плът. Такъв е измамник и антихрист. ⁸ Внимавайте на себе си, за да не изгубите онова, което сме изработили, а да получите пълна награда. ⁹ Никой, който върви напред и не стои в Христовото учение, няма Бога; този, който стои в Христовото учение, той има и Отца, и Сина. ¹⁰ Ако някой дойде при вас и не носи това учение, не го приемайте в дома и не го поздравявайте, ¹¹ защото, който го поздравява, става участник в неговите зли дела. ¹² Имам много да ви пиша, но не исках да пиша с хартия и мастило, а се надявам да дойда при вас и да разговаряме очи в очи, за да бъде радостта ни пълна. ¹³ Поздравяват те децата на твоята избрана сестра. Амин.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Starješina izabranoj Gospođi i djeci njezinoj koju ja ljubim u Istini - a ne samo ja nego i svi koji upoznaše Istinu - ² radi Istine koja ostaje u nama i bit će s nama dovijeka. ³ Bila s nama milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i od Sina Očeva Isusa Krista u istini i ljubavi! ⁴ Obradovah se veoma što sam među tvojom djecom našao takve koji hode u istini, kao što primismo zapovijed od Oca. ⁵ I sada te molim, Gospođo, ne kao da ti novu zapovijed pišem, nego onu koju smo imali od početka: da ljubimo jedni druge. ⁶ A ovo je ta ljubav: da živimo po zapovijedima njegovim. To je zapovijed, kao što čuste od početka, da u njoj živite. ⁷ Jer iziđoše na svijet mnogi zavodnici koji ne ispovijedaju Isusa Krista koji dolazi u tijelu. To je zavodnik i Antikrist. ⁸ Čuvajte se da ne izgubite što ste stekli, nego da primite potpunu plaću. ⁹ Tko god pretjera i ne ostane u nauku Kristovu, nema Boga. Tko ostaje u nauku, ima i Oca i Sina. ¹⁰ Ako tko dolazi k vama i ne donosi tog nauka, ne primajte ga u kuću i ne pozdravljajte ga. ¹¹ Jer tko ga pozdravlja, sudjeluje u njegovim zlim djelima. ¹² Mnogo bih vam imao pisati, ali ne htjedoh na papiru i crnilom, nego se nadam da ću doći k vama i iz usta u usta govoriti da radost vaša bude potpuna. ¹³ Pozdravljaju te djeca tvoje izabrane sestre.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Starší v Kristu vyvolené paní i synům jejím, kteréž já miluji v pravdě, a ne sám já, ale i všickni, kteříž poznali pravdu, ² Pro pravdu, kteráž zůstává v nás a s námiť bude na věky: ³ Budiž s vámi milost, milosrdenství a pokoj od Boha Otce, i od Pána Jezukrista, Syna Otcova, v pravdě a v lásce. ⁴ Zradoval jsem se velmi, že jsem nalezl některé z synů tvých, an chodí v pravdě, jakož jsme přikázání vzali od Otce. ⁵ A nyní prosím tebe, paní, ne jako nové přikázání předkládaje tobě, ale to, kteréž jsme měli od počátku, abychom milovali jedni druhé. ⁶ A totoť jest ta láska, abychom chodili podle přikázání jeho. Přikázání pak toto jest, jakž jste slýchali od počátku, abyste v něm chodili. ⁷ Nebo mnozí bludaři vyšli na svět, kteříž nevyznávají Jezukrista přišlého v těle. Takový každý jest bludař a antikrist. ⁸ Hleďtež sebe, abychom neztratili toho, o čemž jsme pracovali, ale odplatu plnou abychom vzali. ⁹ Každý, kdož přestupuje a nezůstává v učení Kristovu, nemá Boha; kdož zůstává v učení Kristovu, tenť i Otce i Syna má. ¹⁰ Přichází-li kdo k vám, a tohoto učení nepřináší, nepřijímejte ho do domu, aniž ho pozdravujte. ¹¹ Nebo kdož takového pozdravuje, přiúčastňuje se skutkům jeho zlým. ¹² Mnoho vám psáti měv, nechtěl jsem svěřiti toho černidlu a papíru, ale mámť naději, že k vám přijdu, a ústy k ústům mluviti budu, aby radost naše plná byla. ¹³ Pozdravují tě synové sestry tvé v Pánu vyvolené.

Dette er det Bud, som I hørte fra Begyndelsen, at I skulle vandre efter det. ⁷ Thi mange Forførere ere komne ind i Verden, som ikke bekjende Jesus Christus at være kommen i Kjødet. En saadan er Forføreren og Antichristen. ⁸ Giver Agt paa Eder selv, at vi ikke skulle tabe, hvad vi have arbeidet, men maae bekomme af fuld Løn. ⁹ Hver den, som afviger og ikke bliver i Christi Lærdom, har ikke Gud. Hvo som bliver i Christi Lærdom, han har baade Faderen og Sønnen. ¹⁰ Dersom Nogen kommer til Eder og fører ikke denne Lærdom, han annammer ikke tilhuse og byder ham ikke velkommen. ¹¹ thi hvo som byder ham velkommen, bliver deelagtige i hans onde Gjerninger. ¹² Endskjøndt jeg havde Meget at melde Eder, har jeg ikke villet det med Papir og Blæk; men jeg haaber at komme til Eder og tale mundtligen med Eder, paa det vor Glæde maa vorde fuldkommen. ¹³ Din Søsters, den Udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.

2 G225 愛你們是為真理 G1223 的緣故 G3588 ，這 G3306 真理存在 G2254 我們 G1722 裡面 G2532 ，也 G165 必永遠 G2257 與我們 G3326 同在。

3 G5485 恩惠 G1656 ，憐憫 G1515 ，平安 G3844 從 G3962 父 G2316 神 G2532 和 G5207 他兒子 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G1722 在 G225 真理 G2532 和 G26 愛心 G5216 上必常與我們 G3326 同在！

5 G2959 太太 G3568 阿，我現在 G2065 勸 G4571 你 G240 ，我們大家要彼此 G25 相愛 G3756 G5613 。這並不是 G1125 G1125 我寫 G2537 一條新 G1785 命令 G4671 給你 G235 ，乃是 G575 我們從 G746 起初 G2192 所受的命令。

6 G2596 我們若照 G846 他 G1785 的命令 G4043 行 G3778 ，這 G2076 就是 G26 愛 G575 。你們從 G746 起初 G191 所聽見 G4043 當行 G2076 的，就是 G3778 這 G1785 命令。

7 G3754 因為 G2889 世上 G4183 有許多 G4108 迷惑人的 G1525 出來 G3588 ，他們 G3361 不 G3670 認 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G1722 是成了 G4561 肉身 G2064 來 G3778 的；這 G2076 就是 G4108 那迷惑人 G500 、敵基督的。

8 G1438 你們 G991 要小心 G3363 ，不要 G622 失去 G2038 你們（有古卷：我們）所做的工 G235 ，乃要 G618 得著 G4134 滿足的 G3408 賞賜。

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Vanem äravalitud emandale ja tema lastele, keda ma armastan tões - ja mitte üksi mina, vaid ka kõik, kes on tunnetanud tõe - ² tõe pärast, mis jääb meisse ja on meiega igavesti. ³ Arm, halastus ja rahu Jumalalt Isalt ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt, Isa Pojalt, olgu meie kõikidega tões ja armastuses! ⁴ Mind rõõmustas väga, et leidsin sinu laste seast neid, kes käivad tões vastavalt käsule, mille oleme saanud Isalt. ⁵ Ja nüüd ma palun sind, emand, mitte kui uut käsku sulle kirjutades, vaid sama, mis meil oli algusest alates, et me peame üksteist armastama. ⁶ Ja see on armastus, et me käime Tema käskude järgi. See on käsk, et teie, nagu te algusest olete kuulnud, käiksite selles. ⁷ Sest palju eksitajaid on tulnud maailma, kes ei tunnista Jeesust Kristust, kes lihas pidi tulema.

Tämä on käsky, jonka te alusta kuulitte, että te siinä vaeltaisitte. ⁷ Sillä monta vietteliää on maailmaan tullut, jotka ei tunnusta Jesusta Kristusta, että hän on lihaan tullut.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kepada Ibu yang dipilih oleh Allah, dan kepada anak-anak Ibu. Surat ini dari saya, pemimpin jemaat yang sungguh-sungguh mencintai kalian. Bukan hanya saya, tetapi semua orang yang mengenal Allah yang benar, mencintai kalian juga. ² Sebab Allah tinggal di dalam hati kita, dan akan selalu berada dengan kita selama-lamanya. ³ Semoga kita diberi berkat, rahmat dan sejahtera oleh Allah Bapa, dan Yesus Kristus Anak Bapa itu. Semoga semuanya itu kita miliki dengan hati yang tulus dan dengan kasih. ⁴ Saya gembira sekali mengetahui bahwa ada anak-anak Ibu yang hidup menurut ajaran Allah, seperti yang telah diperintahkan Allah Bapa kepada kita. ⁵ Sebab itu, Ibu, saya minta dengan sangat supaya kita semua saling mengasihi. Yang saya kemukakan ini bukanlah suatu perintah yang baru; perintah ini sudah diberikan kepada kita sejak kita mula-mula percaya. ⁶ Mengasihi berarti hidup menurut perintah-perintah Allah. Dan perintah yang kalian sudah dengar sejak semula ialah bahwa kalian harus hidup dengan mengasihi satu sama lain. ⁷ Banyak penipu sudah menyebar ke seluruh dunia. Mereka adalah orang-orang yang tidak mengakui bahwa Yesus Kristus datang ke dunia sebagai seorang manusia. Orang semacam itu adalah penipu, dan Musuh Kristus. ⁸ Sebab itu, jagalah jangan sampai kalian kehilangan apa yang sudah kami usahakan untuk kalian. Berusahalah supaya kalian menerima dari Allah upahmu seluruhnya. ⁹ Orang yang tidak berpegang pada ajaran Kristus, melainkan menyimpang dari apa yang diajarkan oleh Kristus, orang itu tidak mempunyai Allah. Orang yang tetap di dalam ajaran Kristus, berarti mempunyai baik Allah Bapa maupun Anak. ¹⁰ Karena itu, kalau ada orang datang dan memberitakan kepadamu ajaran yang tidak diajarkan Kristus, janganlah menerima orang itu di dalam rumahmu atau memberi salam kepadanya. ¹¹ Sebab orang yang memberi salam kepada orang yang seperti itu turut juga bersama orang itu dalam melakukan perbuatan yang jahat. ¹² Banyak sekali yang perlu saya beritahukan kepadamu, tetapi rasanya lebih baik jangan melalui surat. Saya berharap dapat mengunjungi dan berbicara sendiri dengan kalian, supaya hati kita sungguh-sungguh gembira. ¹³ Anak-anak dari saudara perempuan Ibu yang juga dipilih Allah, mengirim salam kepada Ibu.

Quest’è il comandamento, siccome avete udito dal principio, che camminiate in quella. ⁷ Poichè sono entrati nel mondo molti seduttori, i quali non confessano Gesù Cristo esser venuto in carne; un tale è il seduttore e l’anticristo. ⁸ Prendetevi guardia, acciocchè non perdiamo le buone opere, che abbiamo operate; anzi riceviamo pieno premio. ⁹ Chiunque si rivolta, e non dimora nella dottrina di Cristo, non ha Iddio; chi dimora nella dottrina di Cristo ha e il Padre, e il Figliuolo. ¹⁰ Se alcuno viene a voi, e non reca questa dottrina, non lo ricevete in casa, e non salutatelo. ¹¹ Perciocchè, chi lo saluta partecipa le malvage opere d’esso. ¹² Benchè io avessi molte cose da scrivervi, pur non ho voluto farlo per carta, e per inchiostro; ma spero di venire a voi, e parlarvi a bocca; acciocchè la vostra allegrezza sia compiuta. ¹³ I figliuoli della tua sorella eletta ti salutano.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Presbiterul (Sau: bătrînul.) către aleasa Doamnă şi către copiii ei, pe cari -i iubesc în adevăr-şi nu numai eu, ci toţi cei ce cunosc adevărul, - ² pentru adevărul acesta care rămîne în noi, şi care va fi cu noi în veac: ³ Harul, îndurarea şi pacea să fie cu voi din partea lui Dumnezeu Tatăl, şi din partea Domnului Isus Hristos, Fiul Tatălui, în adevăr şi în dragoste! ⁴ M'am bucurat foarte mult cînd am aflat pe unii din copiii tăi umblînd în adevăr, după porunca pe care am primit -o dela Tatăl. ⁵ Şi acum, te rog, Doamnă, nu ca şi cum ţi-aş scrie o poruncă nouă, ci cea, pe care am avut -o dela început: să ne iubim unii pe alţii! ⁶ Şi dragostea stă în vieţuirea după poruncile Lui. Aceasta este porunca în care trebuie să umblaţi, după cum aţi auzit dela început. ⁷ Căci în lume s'au răspîndit mulţi amăgitori, cari nu mărturisesc că Isus Hristos vine în trup. Iată amăgitorul, iată Antihristul! ⁸ Păziţi-vă bine să nu perdeţi rodul muncii voastre, ci să primiţi o răsplată deplină. ⁹ Oricine o ia înainte, şi nu rămîne în învăţătura lui Hristos, n'are pe Dumnezeu. Cine rămîne în învăţătura aceasta, are pe Tatăl şi pe Fiul. ¹⁰ Dacă vine cineva la voi, şi nu vă aduce învăţătura aceasta, să nu -l primiţi în casă, şi să nu -i ziceţi:,,Bun venit!`` ¹¹ Căci cine -i zice:,,Bun venit!`` se face părtaş faptelor lui rele. ¹² Aş vrea să vă spun multe lucruri; dar nu voiesc să vi le scriu pe hîrtie şi cu cerneală; ci nădejduiesc să vin la voi, şi să vă vorbesc gură către gură, pentruca bucuria noastră să fie deplină. ¹³ Copiii surorei tale alese îţi trimet sănătate. Amin

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Старець вибраній пані та дітям її, яких я поправді люблю, і не тільки я, але й усі, хто правду пізнав, ² за правду, що в нас пробуває й повік буде з нами: ³ нехай буде з вами благодать, милість, мир від Бога Отця та Ісуса Христа, Сина Отцевого, у правді та в любові! ⁴ Я дуже зрадів, що між дітьми твоїми знайшов таких, що ходять у правді, як заповідь ми прийняли від Отця. ⁵ І тепер я благаю тебе, пані, не так, ніби пишу тобі нову заповідь, але ту, яку маємо від початку, щоб ми любили один одного! ⁶ А любов ця щоб ми жили згідно з Його заповідями. Це та заповідь, яку ви чули від початку, щоб ви згідно з нею жили. ⁷ Бо в світ увійшло багато обманців, які не визнають Ісуса Христа, що прийшов був у тілі. Такий то обманець та антихрист! ⁸ Пильнуйте себе, щоб ви не згубили того, над чим працювали, але щоб прийняли повну нагороду. ⁹ Кожен, хто робить переступ та не пробуває в науці Христовій, той Бога не має. А хто пробуває в науці Його, той має і Отця, і Сина. ¹⁰ Коли хто приходить до вас, але не приносить науки цієї, не приймайте до дому його, і не вітайте його! ¹¹ Хто бо вітає його, той участь бере в лихих учинках його. ¹² Багато я мав написати до вас, але не схотів на папері й чорнилом. Та маю надію прибути до вас, і говорити устами до уст, щоб повна була ваша радість! ¹³ Вітають тебе діти вибраної сестри твоєї. Амінь.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Старець - вибраній панї і дїтям її, котрих я істино люблю (і не я тільки, а також усї, що пізнали правду), ² задля правди, що пробував в нас, із нами буде по вік: ³ Нехай буде з вами благодать, милость, впокій від Бога Отця, і від Господа Ісуса Христа, Сина Отцївського, в правдї і любові. ⁴ Вельми я зрадував ся, що знайшов дїтей твоїх, ходячих в правдї, яко ж заповідь прийняли ми від Отця. ⁵ І тепер прошу тебе, панї, не яко нову заповідь пишу тобі, а котру мали ми від почину, щоб любили один одного. ⁶ І се любов, щоб ми ходили по заповідям Його. Се заповідь, яко ж ви чули від почину, щоб у нїй ходили. ⁷ Бо многі зводителї увійшли у сьвіт, котрі не визнають Ісуса Христа, що прийшов у тїлї; а такий зводитель і антихрист. ⁸ Глядїть на себе, щоб не згубити нам, що заробили, а щоб нагороду повну прийняли. ⁹ Кожен, хто переступає, а не пробуває в науці Христовій, не має Бога; хто пробуває в науці Христовій, сей має і Отця і Сина. ¹⁰ Коли хто приходить до вас, і сієї науки не приносить, не приймайте того у хату, і не витайте його; ¹¹ хто бо його витає, бере участь в дїлах його лихих. ¹² Маючи много вам писати, не схотів на папері і чорнилом, а надїюсь прийти до вас, і устами з вами говорити, щоб благодать ваша була повна. ¹³ Витають тебе дїти сестри твоєї вибраної. Амінь.
