< 2 John 1 >

1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
he abhiruchite kuriye, tvAM tava putrAMshcha prati prAchIno. ahaM patraM likhAmi|
2 for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
satyamatAd yuShmAsu mama premAsti kevalaM mama nahi kintu satyamataj nAnAM sarvveShAmeva| yataH satyamatam asmAsu tiShThatyanantakAlaM yAvachchAsmAsu sthAsyati| (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
piturIshvarAt tatpituH putrAt prabho ryIshukhrIShTAchcha prApyo. anugrahaH kR^ipA shAntishcha satyatApremabhyAM sArddhaM yuShmAn adhitiShThatu|
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
vayaM pitR^ito yAm Aj nAM prAptavantastadanusAreNa tava kechid AtmajAH satyamatam Acharantyetasya pramANaM prApyAhaM bhR^isham AnanditavAn|
5 And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
sAmprata ncha he kuriye, navInAM kA nchid Aj nAM na likhannaham Adito labdhAm Aj nAM likhan tvAm idaM vinaye yad asmAbhiH parasparaM prema karttavyaM|
6 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.
aparaM premaitena prakAshate yad vayaM tasyAj nA Acharema| Adito yuShmAbhi ryA shrutA seyam Aj nA sA cha yuShmAbhirAcharitavyA|
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
yato bahavaH prava nchakA jagat pravishya yIshukhrIShTo narAvatAro bhUtvAgata etat nA NgIkurvvanti sa eva prava nchakaH khrIShTArishchAsti|
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
asmAkaM shramo yat paNDashramo na bhavet kintu sampUrNaM vetanamasmAbhi rlabhyeta tadarthaM svAnadhi sAvadhAnA bhavataH|
9 Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
yaH kashchid vipathagAmI bhUtvA khrIShTasya shikShAyAM na tiShThati sa IshvaraM na dhArayati khrIShTasya shij nAyAM yastiShThati sa pitaraM putra ncha dhArayati|
10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
yaH kashchid yuShmatsannidhimAgachChan shikShAmenAM nAnayati sa yuShmAbhiH svaveshmani na gR^ihyatAM tava ma NgalaM bhUyAditi vAgapi tasmai na kathyatAM|
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
yatastava ma NgalaM bhUyAditi vAchaM yaH kashchit tasmai kathayati sa tasya duShkarmmaNAm aMshI bhavati|
12 Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
