SECOND
JOHN
|
| 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;
|
| 001:002
| For the truth's
sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
|
| 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.
|
| 001:004
| I rejoiced greatly
that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received
a commandment from the Father.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 001:008
| Look to yourselves,
that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we
receive a full reward.
|
| 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.
|
| 001:010
| If there come any
unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your
house, neither bid him God speed:
|
| 001:011
| For he that biddeth
him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
|
| 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.
|
| 001:013
| The children of thy
elect sister greet thee. Amen.
