2 John Cross References - WPNT

¹ The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known the truth— ² because of the Truth, who abides in us and will be with us into the age: ³ Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love. ⁴ It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have from the beginning): that we love one another. ⁶ And this is the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it. ⁷ Now many deceivers have come into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in flesh —this is the deceiver, even the Antichrist! ⁸ Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward. ⁹ Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ’s teaching does have 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; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,” ¹¹ because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works. ¹² Although I had many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your elect sister greet you.

²³ having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever. ²⁴ For: “All flesh is as grass, and all man’s glory as flower of grass.

⁸ Above all things your love for one another should be constant, because love covers a multitude of sins.

¹² So then, I will not neglect to keep reminding you about these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

¹ However, there were also false prophets among the people, just as, indeed, there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Owner who bought them (bringing on themselves swift destruction). ² And many will follow their licentious ways, because of which the way of the Truth will be defamed. ³ And in covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; since way back the judgment for such people is not slack, and their destruction will not sleep.

³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us; indeed, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. ⁴ Yes, we write these things to you so that our joy may be fulfilled.

⁶ If we claim that we have fellowship with Him while walking in the darkness, we are lying and not living the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light just 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. ⁸ If we claim that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the Truth is not in us.

⁵ But whoever keeps His Word, God’s love has truly been perfected in him: by this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who claims to be abiding in Him really needs to act just like He acted. ⁷ Brothers, I am not writing a new commandment to you but an old one that you have had from the beginning; this old commandment is the word that you have heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

¹⁴ fathers, I have written to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I have written to you because you are strong, and the Word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

¹⁷ The world, with its craving, is passing away, but he who does God’s will remains forever. ¹⁸ Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared, by which we know that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They went out from us but were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us—they left so that they might be exposed, that none of them were of us. ²⁰ You have an Anointing from the Holy One and understand all. ²¹ I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the Truth.

²¹ I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the Truth. ²² Who is the liar but the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.

²² Who is the liar but the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. ²³ Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father either. ²⁴ So you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you; if what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Father and in the Son.

²⁴ So you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you; if what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Father and in the Son.

²⁶ I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you;

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

¹⁴ We know that we have transferred out of the death into the life because we love our brothers; he who doesn’t love his brother remains in the death. ¹⁵ Whoever is hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding within himself. ¹⁶ We know the Love by this: He laid down His life in our behalf; we also are obligated to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers. ¹⁷ Now whoever has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart toward him—how does the love of God abide in him? ¹⁸ My dear children, let us not love in word or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth

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

²³ Now this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded.

¹ Dear ones, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this the Spirit of God is known: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ as having come in flesh is of God, ³ and every spirit that doesn’t acknowledge Jesus Christ as having come in flesh is not of God; indeed, this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming—actually, it is already in the world right now.

⁷ Dear ones, we must love one another, because the love is of God and everyone who loves has been begotten by God and knows God. ⁸ He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, because God is love. ⁹ God’s love was made real within us by this: God sent His only begotten Son into the world in order that we might live through Him. ¹⁰ In this is the love, not that we loved God but that He loved us—He even sent His Son as the propitiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is the love, not that we loved God but that He loved us—He even sent His Son as the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Dear ones, since God loved us in this way we are obligated to love one another, really. ¹² No one has ever looked at God. If we love one another, God remains in us and His love is being perfected in us.

²⁰ If anyone says, “I love God”, while hating his brother, he is a liar. Well, how can he love God whom he hasn’t seen, while not loving his brother whom he has seen?

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

¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.

¹ The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known the truth—

¹ The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known the truth— ² because of the Truth, who abides in us and will be with us into the age:

² because of the Truth, who abides in us and will be with us into the age: ³ Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love.

³ Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love. ⁴ It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have from the beginning): that we love one another.

⁵ And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have from the beginning): that we love one another. ⁶ And this is the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it. ⁷ Now many deceivers have come into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in flesh —this is the deceiver, even the Antichrist! ⁸ Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward. ⁹ Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ’s teaching does have 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; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,” ¹¹ because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works.

¹¹ because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works. ¹² Although I had many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

¹³ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

³ Because it gave me great joy when some brothers came and testified to the truth about you, how you are walking in Truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in Truth.

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

¹³ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink; ¹⁴ rather I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here greet you. Greet the friends there by name.

¹⁴ rather I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here greet you. Greet the friends there by name.

¹¹ ‘I am coming swiftly. Hold fast what you have so that no one may take your crown.

⁹ So the great dragon was expelled, that ancient serpent, who is called Slanderer and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited world; he was thrown into the earth, and his angels were expelled with him.

¹⁴ And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived.

⁴ And I heard another Voice from heaven saying: “Come out of her, my people, so as not to participate in her sins and so as not to receive of her plagues.
