The Book of 2nd John

1:1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth--and not I only, but also all who know the truth--
1:2 because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
1:3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
1:4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
1:5 And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
1:6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
1:8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.
1:9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him.
1:11 Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.
1:12 I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
1:13 The children of your chosen sister send their greetings.
