2 John

2John 1

1 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;KJRV — 2John 1:1

2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.KJRV — 2John 1:2

3 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.KJRV — 2John 1:3

4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, (1 Corinthians 13:6) as we have received a commandment from the Father.KJRV — 2John 1:4

5 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.KJRV — 2John 1:5

6 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.KJRV — 2John 1:6

7 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.KJRV — 2John 1:7

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.KJRV — 2John 1:8

9 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.KJRV — 2John 1:9

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive (Matthew 18:17; Romans 16:17; 1 Corinthians 5:9) him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:KJRV — 2John 1:10

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.KJRV — 2John 1:11

12 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.KJRV — 2John 1:12

13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.KJRV — 2John 1:13
