2 John 1
1 The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,
El anciano a la señora escogida y a sus hijos, a quienes yo amo en verdad, y no solo yo, sino también todos los que conocen la Verdad,
por medio de la Verdad que permanece en nosotros y se quedará para siempre con nosotros. (aiōn g165)
3 May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
Gracia, misericordia y paz de Dios Padre y de Jesucristo, su Hijo, estén con ustedes en verdad y amor.
4 I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.
En gran manera me regocijé porque hallé [algunos] de tus hijos que viven en verdad, como recibimos Mandamiento del Padre.
5 And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
Ahora te ruego, señora, no como si te escribiera un Mandamiento nuevo, sino el que teníamos desde un principio: que nos amemos unos a otros.
6 And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.
Éste es el amor: que vivamos según sus Mandamientos. Éste es el Mandamiento: que vivan en él, como oyeron desde un principio.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Porque muchos engañadores salieron al mundo quienes no confiesan que Jesucristo vino en forma corporal. Éste es el impostor y el anticristo.
8 Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.
Cuídense ustedes mismos para que no destruyan las cosas que nos forjamos, sino que reciban completa recompensa.
9 Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
Todo el que se desvía de la doctrina de Cristo y no permanece en Él, no tiene a Dios. El que permanece en la doctrina tiene tanto al Padre como al Hijo.
10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.
Si alguno viene a ustedes y no tiene esta doctrina, no lo reciban en casa ni le digan: ¡Bienvenido!
11 For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
Porque el que le dice bienvenido participa en sus malas obras.
12 I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.
Aunque tengo muchas cosas que escribirles, no quise hacerlo por medio de papel y tinta, sino espero estar con ustedes y hablar cara a cara, para que nuestro gozo sea completado.
13 The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
Los hijos de tu hermana, la elegida, te saludan.
