2 John Cross References - RYLT

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 your children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father; ⁵ and now I beseech you, Kyria, not as writing to you 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 you did hear from the beginning, that in it you 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 you 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, has not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son; ¹⁰ if any one does come unto you, and this teaching does not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, 'Hail!' ¹¹ for he who is saying to him, 'Hail,' has 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 you do the children of your choice sister.

⁵ taking remembrance of the unfeigned\'7bgenuine, sincere\'7d faith that is in you, that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in you.

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining -- to the age; ²⁴ because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away, ²⁵ and the saying of the Lord does remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

¹² Therefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,

² to Timothy -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:

¹³ The pattern\'7bexample\'7d hold you of sound words, which from me you did hear, in faith and love that is in Christ Jesus;

²³ every one who is denying the Son, neither has he the Father, he who is confessing the Son has the Father also. ²⁴ You, then, that which you heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning you did hear, you also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

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 and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour\'7bfragrance\'7d of a sweet smell,

⁸ for you were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk you,

¹⁰ And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length you flourished again in caring for me, for which also you were caring, and lacked opportunity;

¹⁹ for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even you before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence? ²⁰ for you are our glory and joy.

⁶ And now Timothy having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also to see you, ⁷ because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith, ⁸ because now we live, if you may stand fast in the Lord; ⁹ for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God? ¹⁰ night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.

⁶ if we may say -- 'we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth; ⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son does cleanse us from every sin;

⁶ He who is saying in him he does remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

³ for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in you, even as you in truth do walk; ⁴ greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking.

³⁴ 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; according as I did love you, that you also love one another; ³⁵ in this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you may have love one to another.'

¹² 'This is my command, that you love one another, according as I did love you;

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

⁹ And concerning the brotherly love, you have no need of my writing to you, for you yourselves are God-taught to love one another,

¹ Let brotherly love remain;

⁸ and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;

⁷ and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;

⁷ Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that you had from the beginning -- the old command is the word that you heard from the beginning; ⁸ again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness does pass away, and the true light does now shine;

¹¹ because this is the message that you did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

¹⁴ we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother does remain in the death. ¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and you have known that no man-killer has life age-during in him remaining, ¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down; ¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his compassion from him -- how does the love of God remain in him? ¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

⁷ Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he has been begotten, and does know God; ⁸ he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love. ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- has God sent to the world, that we may live through him; ¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love; ¹² God no one has ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us does remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

²⁰ if any one may say -- 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he has seen, God -- whom he has not seen -- how is he able to love?

¹⁵ 'If you love me, my commands keep,

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

¹⁰ if my commandments you may keep, you shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

¹⁴ you are my friends, if you may do whatever I command you;

⁸ To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he has fulfilled, ⁹ for, 'You shall not commit adultery, You shall do no murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false testimony, You shall not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself;'

¹³ For you -- to freedom you were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve you one another, ¹⁴ for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: 'You shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'

⁵ and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

²⁴ You, then, that which you heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning you did hear, you also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

¹⁵ and if we have known that He does hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁶ and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

¹ And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction, ² and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of, ³ and in covetousness, with molded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

¹⁸ Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as you heard that the antichrist does come, even now antichrists have become many -- whence we know that it is the last hour; ¹⁹ out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but -- that they might be manifested that they are not all of us. ²⁰ And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things; ²¹ I did not write to you because you have not known the truth, but because you have known it, and because no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

²⁶ These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;

¹ Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world; ² in this know you the Spirit of God; every spirit that does confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, ³ and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which you heard that it does come, and now in the world it is already.

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth -- the old serpent, who is called 'Devil,' and 'the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world -- he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

¹⁴ and it leads astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that has the stroke of the sword and did live,

⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, 'Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

²⁴ for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen. ²⁵ Lo, I did tell you beforehand.

⁵ And Jesus answering them, began to say, 'Take heed lest any one may lead you astray, ⁶ for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am he, and many they shall lead astray;

⁹ 'And take you heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrins, and to synagogues, you shall be beaten, and before governors and kings you shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

²³ and you, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things.

⁸ And he said, 'See -- you may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am he, and the time has come near; go not on then after them;

³⁶ 'And he who is reaping does receive a reward, and does gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

⁸ and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

¹⁴ if of any one the work does remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive;

⁸ And last of all -- as to the untimely birth -- he appeared also to me,

⁴ so many things did you suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

¹¹ I am afraid for you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom you do appear as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

¹⁶ but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

³² And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, you did endure much conflict of sufferings,

³⁵ You may not cast away, then, your boldness, which has great recompense of reward,

¹⁵ looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

¹¹ Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which you have, that no one may receive your crown.

²⁷ 'All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none does know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.

²² 'All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one does know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.'

²³ that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, does not honour the Father who sent him.

¹⁶ Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me; ¹⁷ if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

⁶ Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one does come unto the Father, if not through me;

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

⁴² and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.

¹⁰ not purloining\'7bembezzling\'7d, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.

¹⁴ for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

¹ Therefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,

³ that which we have seen and heard declare we to you that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ;

²² Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that you did learn, are causing, and turn you away from them; ¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

¹¹ and now, I did write to you not to keep company with him, if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- with such a one not even to eat together;

²² if any one does not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord has come!

⁸ but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- accursed let him be! ⁹ as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what you did receive -- accursed let him be!

⁶ And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that you received from us,

¹⁴ and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note you, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

⁵ having a form\'7bsemblance\'7d of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away, ⁶ for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden\'7bweighed down, heaped, piled\'7d with sins, led away with desires manifold\'7bof various sorts\'7d,

¹⁰ A sectarian man, after a first and second admonition be rejecting,

¹¹ for he who is saying to him, 'Hail,' has fellowship with his evil works.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict\'7bexpose\'7d,

²² Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping yourself pure;

⁴ And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, 'Come forth out of her, My people, that you may not partake with her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues,

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

¹² 'I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now;

²⁴ till now you did ask nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

¹³ 'And now unto You I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

²⁴ when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.

⁵ And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through -- ⁶ and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that you may send me forward whithersoever I go, ⁷ for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

⁴ desiring greatly to see you, being mindful of your tears, that with joy I may be filled,

²² and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

¹⁹ and more abundantly do I call upon you to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.

²³ Know you that the brother Timothy is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you.

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

¹³ Many things I had to write, but I do not wish through ink and pen to write to you, ¹⁴ and I hope straightway to see you, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to you! salute you do the friends; be saluting the friends by name.

¹³ Salute you does the assembly in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.

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 your children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father; ⁵ and now I beseech you, Kyria, not as writing to you 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 you did hear from the beginning, that in it you 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 you 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, has not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son; ¹⁰ if any one does come unto you, and this teaching does not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, 'Hail!' ¹¹ for he who is saying to him, 'Hail,' has 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 you do the children of your choice sister.
