2 John Cross References - ABU

¹ THE elder to the elect lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth,—and not I alone but also all that know the truth,— ² for the sake of the truth, which abides in us, and will be with us forever: 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 have found of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing 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 walk according to his commandment; and this is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. ⁷ Because many deceivers went out into the world, who acknowledge not that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we wrought, but receive a full reward. ⁹ Every one who transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. 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.

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,—

¹⁰ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye revived again in your care for my welfare; for which ye were also careful, but lacked opportunity.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not also ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? ²⁰ For ye are our glory and joy.

⁶ But now, when Timothy came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you; ⁷ for this cause we were consoled, brethren, over you in all our affliction and distress, through your faith; ⁸ because now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God; ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth; ⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁶ He that says he abides in him ought, as he walked, himself also so to walk.

⁷ and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

⁷ Beloved, I write not to you a new commandment, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines.

¹¹ because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death. ¹⁵ Every one that hates his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ In this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whoever has the world's sustenance, and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his pity from him, how abides the love of God in him? ¹⁸ Little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave us commandment.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God. ⁸ He that loves not, knew not God; because God is love. ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in respect to us, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No man has ever seen God. If we love one another, God abides in us, and the love of him is perfected in us.

²⁰ If any one say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

²¹ He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.

⁸ Owe no one anything, but to love one another; for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this: Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

¹³ For ye were called unto liberty, brethren; only use not the liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁵ But whoever keeps his word, of a truth in him the love of God is perfected. In this we know that we are in him.

²⁴ What ye heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome;

¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁶ And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

¹ BUT there were false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who stealthily will bring in destructive factions, even denying as Master him who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will follow their dissolute ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of. ³ And in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment from of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time; and as ye heard that antichrist should come, even now many antichrists have arisen; from whence we know that it is the last time. ¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but it was in order that they might be made manifest, that all are not of us. ²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things. ²¹ I wrote not to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

²⁶ These things I wrote to you concerning those who seduce you.

¹ BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. ² In this ye know the Spirit of God: ³ Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God; and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come; and now, it is already in the world.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, who leads astray the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

¹⁴ and he leads astray those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs which it was given him to do in the presence of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.

⁴ And Jesus answering said to them: Take heed, lest any one lead you astray.

²⁴ For there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so as, if possible, to lead even the chosen astray. ²⁵ Behold, I have told you before.

⁵ And Jesus began to say to them: Take heed lest any one lead you astray. ⁶ For many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and will lead many astray.

⁹ But do ye take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues ye will be beaten; and ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake for a testimony to them.

²³ But do ye take heed; I have foretold you all.

⁸ And 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. Go not after them.

³⁶ And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal; that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

⁸ And he that plants and he that waters are one; and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

¹⁴ If any one's work which he built thereon remains, he will receive reward.

⁸ And last of all he appeared to me also, as the one born out of due time.

⁴ Did ye suffer so many things in vain? If indeed it be in vain.

¹¹ I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and simple, children of God, unreproachable, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye appear as do the heavenly lights in the world; ¹⁶ holding forth the word of life; for a ground of glorying to me at the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, or labor in vain.

¹⁶ Nevertheless, whereto we have attained, in the same let us walk.

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great contest of sufferings;

³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.

¹⁵ looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;

¹¹ I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one may take thy crown.

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; nor does any one know the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

²² All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.

¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them, and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. ¹⁷ If any one desires to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

⁶ Jesus says to him: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by me.

⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is cast forth as the branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁴² And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the distribution, and the breaking of bread, and prayers.

¹⁰ not purloining, but showing all good faith; that they may adorn the teaching of our Savior God in all things,

¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end.

¹ WHEREFORE, leaving the first principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

³ that which we have seen and have heard we report to you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the teaching which ye learned, and avoid them. ¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹¹ But as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any one called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one not even to eat.

²² If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maran atha!

⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed. ⁹ As we have said before, so I now say again, if any one preaches a gospel to you contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

¹⁴ And if any one obeys not our word by this letter, mark that man, and keep not company with him, that he may be shamed.

⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; and from these turn away. ⁶ For of these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

¹⁰ A man that causes divisions, after a first and second admonition, avoid;

¹¹ for he that bids him good speed shares in his evil deeds.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove them.

²² Lay hands hastily on no one, neither share in other men's sins. Keep thyself pure.

⁴ And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying: Come out of her, my people, that ye partake not in her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

¹¹ These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy be made full.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye can not bear them now.

²⁴ Hitherto ye asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

¹³ And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them.

²⁴ whenever I go into Spain, I hope to see you in my journey, and to be sent forward thither by you, if first I shall be satisfied in a measure with your company.

⁵ And I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia. For I pass through Macedonia; ⁶ and it may be that I will remain, or even pass the winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. ⁷ For I wish not to see you now, in passing; for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit.

⁴ longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

²² But at the same time be preparing for me also a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you.

¹⁹ But I the more earnestly beseech you to do this, that I may the sooner be restored to you.

²³ Know that the brother, Timothy, has been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

⁴ And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

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

¹³ The [church that is] in Babylon, chosen with you, salutes you; and Mark, my son.

¹ THE elder to the elect lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth,—and not I alone but also all that know the truth,— ² for the sake of the truth, which abides in us, and will be with us forever: 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 have found of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing 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 walk according to his commandment; and this is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. ⁷ Because many deceivers went out into the world, who acknowledge not that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we wrought, but receive a full reward. ⁹ Every one who transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. 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.
