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, —

The elder To [the] elect lady and to the children of her whom I myself love in truth, and not I myself only, but also all those already knowing the truth —

2 For the sake of the truth that abideth in us, and, with us, shall be unto times age-abiding, (aiōn g165)

because of the truth which is abiding in us and with us that will be to the age: (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.

Will be with us grace mercy [and] peace from God [the] Father and from (Lord *K) Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.

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.

I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found [some] of the children of you walking in truth even as commandment we received from the Father.

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.

And now I implore you, lady, not as a commandment new I am writing to you but that which we have had from [the] beginning, that we may love one another.

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.

And this is love that we may walk according to the commandments of Him. This the commandment is even as you have heard from [the] beginning, so that in it you may walk;

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.

For many deceivers (have gone out *N+KO) into the world, those not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8 Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned, —but, a full reward, ye may duly receive.

do watch yourselves so that not (you may lose *N+KO) what things (we have worked for, *NK+O) but a reward full (you may receive. *N+KO)

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.

Anyone who (is progressing *N+KO) and not abiding in the teaching of Christ God not has; The [one] abiding in the teaching (of the Christ *K) this [one] both the Father and the Son has.

10 If anyone cometh unto you and, this teaching, doth not bring, be not receiving him home, and, Joy to thee! do not say;

If anyone comes to you and this teaching not does bring, not do receive him into [the] house, and to greet him not do tell;

11 For, he that biddeth him rejoice, hath fellowship with his wicked works.

the [one] telling for him to rejoice partakes in the works of him evil.

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.

Many things having to you to write not I purposed with paper and ink; but I hope (to come *N+kO) to you and mouth to mouth to speak so that the joy (of us *NK+O) completed may be.

13 The children of thy chosen sister salute thee.

Greet you the children of the sister of you elect (Amen. *KO)
