2 John Cross References - YLT

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!' <sup>11</sup> 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.

¹³ And we—we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, ¹⁴ to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁴ who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

²⁶ For we—wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth—no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,

² according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied!

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly, ²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—to the age;

¹ Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

²¹ I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in 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.

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,

¹³ salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.

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

⁷ if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

²³ And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;

⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus—Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

⁵ taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.

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 doth remain—to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

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

⁸ if we may say—`we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

¹⁴ I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

¹⁷ and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain—to the age.

¹⁹ `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth months, are to the house of Judah for joy and for rejoicing, and for pleasant appointed seasons, and the truth and the peace they have loved.

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

¹³ The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that is in Christ Jesus;

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

⁹ Who is wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!

⁶ The law of truth hath been in his mouth, And perverseness hath not been found in his lips, In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, And many he brought back from iniquity.

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 of a sweet smell,

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

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

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

⁶ And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye 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 ye 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 doth cleanse us from every sin;

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

³ for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost 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 ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another; ³⁵ in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

¹² `This is my command, that ye 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, ye have no need of my writing to you, for ye 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 ye had from the beginning—the old command is the word that ye 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 doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;

¹¹ because this is the message that ye 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 doth remain in the death. ¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother—a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath 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 bowels from him—how doth 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 hath been begotten, and doth 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—hath 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 hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth 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 hath seen, God—whom he hath not seen—how is he able to love?

¹⁵ `If ye 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 ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye 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 hath fulfilled, ⁹ for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'

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

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

²⁴ Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye 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 doth 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 moulded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction doth not slumber.

¹⁸ Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth 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 ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things; ²¹ I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye 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 ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, ³ and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth 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 leadeth 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 hath the stroke of the sword and did live,

³ And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

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 ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

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

⁸ And he said, `See—ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying—I am he, and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;

³⁶ `And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth 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 doth 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 ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

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

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye 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, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,

³⁵ Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath 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 thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.

²⁷ `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth 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 doth 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, doth 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 saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth 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, 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 Wherefore, 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 ye 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;

¹² And he saith, `Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day—(and do kindness with my lord Abraham;

⁸ And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah is on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye 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 doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be anathema! The Lord hath 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—anathema 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 ye did receive—anathema 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 ye received from us,

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

⁵ having a form 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 with sins, led away with desires manifold,

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

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

¹⁸ If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers is thy portion.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,

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

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

⁸ mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and by an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant—against Moses?'

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 ye are not able to bear them now;

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

¹³ `And now unto Thee 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 ye 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 thee, being mindful of thy 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 ye that the brother Timotheus 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 thee, ¹⁴ and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be saluting the friends by name.

¹³ Salute you doth 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 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!' <sup>11</sup> 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.
