Book 63 2 John
63:001:001 The elder unto the
elect lady and her children, whom I love in
the truth; and not I
only, but also all they that have known
the truth;
63:001:002 For the truth's sake,
which dwelleth in us, and shall be with
us for ever.
63:001:003 Grace be with you,
mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and
from the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth
and love.
63:001:004 I rejoiced greatly that
I found of thy children walking in
truth, as we have
received a commandment from the Father.
63:001:005 And now I beseech thee,
lady, not as though I wrote a new
commandment unto thee,
but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love
one another.
63:001:006 And this is love, that
we walk after his commandments. This is
the commandment, That,
as ye have heard from the beginning, ye
should walk in it.
63:001:007 For many deceivers are
entered into the world, who confess not
that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
an antichrist.
63:001:008 Look to yourselves,
that we lose not those things which we
have wrought, but that
we receive a full reward.
63:001:009 Whosoever transgresseth,
and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ, hath not God.
He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son.
63:001:010 If there come any unto
you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into
your house, neither bid him God speed:
63:001:011 For he that biddeth him
God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds.
63:001:012 Having many things to
write unto you, I would not write with
paper and ink: but I
trust to come unto you, and speak face to
face, that our joy may
be full.
63:001:013 The children of thy
elect sister greet thee. Amen.
