\s1 A Greeting from the Elder
|
|||
|
\r (3 John 1:1–4)
|
|||
|
\b
|
|||
|
\m
|
|||
|
\v 1 The elder,
|
|||
|
\b
|
|||
|
\m To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
|
|||
|
\v 2 because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
|
|||
|
\b
|
|||
|
\m
|
|||
|
\v 3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.

\s1 Walking in the Truth
|
|||
|
\r (John 8:30–47)
|
|||
|
\b
|
|||
|
\m
|
|||
|
\v 4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
|
|||
|
\v 5 And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
|
|||
|
\v 6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
|
|||
|
\s1 Beware of Deceivers
|
|||
|
\b
|
|||
|
\m
|
|||
|
\v 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
|
|||
|
\v 8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for,\f + \fr 1:8 \ft NE and WH what you have worked for\f* but that you may be fully rewarded.
|
|||
|
\v 9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
|
|||
|
\b
|
|||
|
\m
|
|||
|
\v 10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
|
|||
|
\v 11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
|
|||
|

|
\b
|
|||
|
\m
|
|||
|
\v 12 I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face,\f + \fr 1:12 \ft Literally mouth to mouth\f* so that our joy may be complete.
