[1]
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the
truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the
truth;
[2]
For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for
ever.
[3]
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from
the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
[4]
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as
we have received a commandment from the Father.
[5]
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment
unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one
another.
[6]
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the
commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should
walk in it.
[7]
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
antichrist.
[8]
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
[9]
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ,
hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son.
[10]
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him
not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
[11]
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
[12]
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper
and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that
our joy may be full.
[13]
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
