2 Johannesbrevet 1
1 Den äldste, den utvalda Frune, och hennes barn, hvilken jag älskar i sanningen; och icke jag allenast, utan ock alle som sanningen känt hafva;
The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom in truth I love with divine love; and not I, but also those having known the truth;
on account of the truth which abides in us, and shall be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Nåd, barmhertighet, frid af Gud Fader, och af Herranom Jesu Christo, Fadrens Son, i sanningene, och i kärlekenom, vare med eder.
Grace, mercy, peace, shall be with us from God our Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in divine love.
4 Jag är mycket glad, att jag hafver funnit ibland din barn de der vandra i sanningene; såsom vi budet af Fadrenom fått hafve.
I rejoice exceedingly because I have found some of thy children walking about in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Och nu beder jag dig, Fru; icke skrifver jag dig såsom ett nytt bud, utan det vi hadom af begynnelsen, att vi skolom älska oss inbördes.
And now I entreat thee, O Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another with divine love.
6 Och detta är kärleken, att vi vandrom efter hans bud. Detta är budet, som I hört hafven af begynnelsen, att I vandren deruti.
And this is the divine love, that we may walk about according to his commandments; this is the commandment, That, as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk about in it.
7 Ty månge bedragare äro inkomne i verldena, de som icke bekänna Jesum Christum kommen vara i köttet; denne är bedragaren, och Antichrist.
Because many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh; the same is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Ser eder väl före, att vi icke borttappom det vi arbetat hafvom, utan att vi fåm full lön.
Take heed to yourselves, that you may not destroy those things which you have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
9 Hvar och en som öfverträder, och icke blifver i Christi lärdom, han hafver ingen Gud; den der blifver i Christi lärdom, han hafver både Fadren och Sonen.
Every one going forth, and not abiding in the teaching of Christ, has not God; the one abiding in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
10 Kommer någor till eder, och icke hafver denna lärdomen med sig, undfår honom icke i hus, och helser honom icke heller;
If any one comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine; do not receive him into your house, and do not bid him God speed:
11 Ty den honom helsar, han är delaktig i hans onda gerningar.
for the one bidding him God speed partakes of his evil deeds.
12 Jag hafver väl mycket att skrifva eder, dock ville jag icke med papper eller bläck; utan jag hoppas att komma till eder, och muntliga tala med eder, på det vår glädje skall vara fullkommen.
Having many things to write to you, I would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and mouth to mouth to speak to you, in order that our joy may be full.
13 Helsa dig dine utvalda systers barn. Amen.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
