2 Johannes 1
1 Den Ældste til den udvalgte Frue og hendes Børn, som jeg elsker i Sandhed, og ikke jeg alene, men også alle, som have erkendt Sandheden,
The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.
I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Nåde, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
4 Jeg har glædet mig meget over, at jeg har fundet Børn af dig, som vandre i Sandhed, efter det Bud, vi fik af Faderen.
I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Og nu beder jeg dig, Frue! ikke som om jeg skrev til dig et nyt
And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.
6 Og dette er Kærligheden, at vi vandre efter hans Bud. Dette er Budet, således som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, at I skulle vandre deri.
And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.
7 Thi mange Forførere ere udgåede i Verden, som ikke bekende Jesus som Kristus kommen i Kød. En sådan er Forføreren og Antikrist.
I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Giver Agt på eder selv, at I ikke skulle tabe, hvad vi have arbejdet, men at I må få fuld Løn.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Hver den, som viger ud og ikke bliver i Kristi Lære, har ikke Gud. Den, som bliver i Læren, han har både Faderen og Sønnen.
Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.
10 Dersom nogen kommer til eder og ikke fører denne Lære, ham skulle I ikke tage til Huse og ikke byde velkommen.
If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.
11 Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.
12 Endskønt jeg havde meget at skrive til eder, har jeg ikke villet det med Papir og Blæk; men jeg håber at komme til eder og tale mundtligt med eder, for at vor Glæde må være fuldkommen.
I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
