Bible, King James Version
2_John
2John.1
[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.
