2 John 1
1 The Elder, unto an elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not, I, alone, but all those also who understand the truth, —
我長老致書給蒙選的主母和她的子女，就是我在真理內所愛的，不但我一個人，而且也是所有認識真理的人所愛的；
2 For the sake of the truth that abideth in us, and, with us, shall be unto times age-abiding, (aiōn g165)
這愛的因由，就是那存在我們內，並永遠與我們同在的真理。 (aiōn g165)
3 Favour, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
願恩寵、仁愛與平安由天主父及天父之子耶穌基督，在真理與愛情內與我們同在。
4 I rejoiced exceedingly, in that I had found, from among thy children, such as were walking in truth, even as, a commandment, we received from the Father.
我很喜歡，因為我遇見了你的一些子女，照我們由天父所領受的命令，在真理內生活。
5 And, now, I request thee, lady, not as writing, a new commandment, unto thee, but one which we were holding from the beginning—That we should be loving one another.
主母，我現在請求你，我們應該彼此相愛；這不是我寫給你的一條新命令，而是我們從起初就有的命令。
6 And, this, is love, that we should be walking according to his commandments: This, is, the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that, therein, ye should be walking.
我們按照他的命令生活，這就是愛；你們應在愛中生活，這就是那命令，正如你們從起初聽過的。
7 Because, many deceivers, have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh: This, is the deceiver and the antichrist.
的確，有許多迷惑人的，來到了世界上，他們不承認耶穌基督是在肉身內降世的；這樣的人就是迷惑人的，就是假基督。
8 Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned, —but, a full reward, ye may duly receive.
你們要謹慎，不要喪失你們勞苦所得的，反要領受圓滿的賞報。
9 Every one that taketh a lead, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not, God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same, hath, both the Father and the Son.
凡是越規而不存在基督道理內的，就沒有天主；那存在這道理內的，這人有父也有子。
10 If anyone cometh unto you and, this teaching, doth not bring, be not receiving him home, and, Joy to thee! do not say;
若有人來到你們中，不帶著這個道理，你們不要接他到家中，也不要向他請安，
11 For, he that biddeth him rejoice, hath fellowship with his wicked works.
因為誰若向他請安，就是有分於他的邪惡工作。
12 Though I had many things, unto you, to write, I was not minded [to say them] with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and, mouth to mouth, to talk, —that your joy may be made full.
雖然我還有許多事，要寫給你們，但我不願意用紙用墨，只希望到你們那裏去，親口面談，好使我們的喜樂圓滿無缺。
13 The children of thy chosen sister salute thee.
你那蒙選的姊妹的子女問候你。
