2Jn 1:1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth, 2Jn 1:2 for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever: 2Jn 1:3 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. 2Jn 1:4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father. 2Jn 1:5 Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. 2Jn 1:6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. 2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2Jn 1:8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. 2Jn 1:9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 2Jn 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 2Jn 1:11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds. 2Jn 1:12 Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full. 2Jn 1:13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
