2 John 1
1 THE Elder, to Kuria the elect, and to her children: whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but all they who know the truth;
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;
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 May grace be with you, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I have rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children, who walked in the truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 And now, I beseech thee, Kuria, (I write no new commandment to thee, but that which was with us from the beginning, ) that we should love one another.
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.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that we should walk in it.
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.
7 Because many seducers have gone forth into the world, who confess not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh. This is a seducer and Antichrist.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Yeshua the Messiah came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-Messiah.
8 Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not what ye have wrought; but that ye may be recompensed with a full reward.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Messiah, God is not in him. And he who abideth in his doctrine, he hath the Father and the Son.
Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Messiah, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
10 If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, entertain him not in your house, nor say to him, Joy to thee:
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 for he that saith to him, Joy to thee, is a participator in his evil deeds.
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
12 Having many things I could write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to converse mouth to mouth, that our joy may be complete.
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 thy elect sister salute thee. Grace be with you. Amen.
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
