\v 1 From the elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who have known the truth,
|
|
\v 2 because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us forever.
|
|
\v 3 Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

\v 4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received this commandment from the Father.
|
|
\v 5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we should love one another.
|
|
\v 6 And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

\v 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, and they do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
|
|
\v 8 Look to yourselves, that you do not lose the things for which we all have worked, but so that you may receive a full reward.

\v 9 Whoever goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
|
|
\v 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not greet him.
|
|
\v 11 For he who greets him participates in his evil deeds.

\v 12 I have many things to write to you and I did not wish to write them with paper and ink. But I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

\v 13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
