2 Iohn 1

¹The Elder vnto the elect Lady, and her children, whome I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all they that haue knowen ye trueth:

²For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer:

³Grace bee with you, mercie, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of the Father in trueth and loue.

⁴I reioyced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in trueth, as wee haue receiued a commaundement from the Father.

⁵And now, I beseech thee Lady, not as though I wrote a new commandement vnto thee: but that which wee had from the beginning, that wee loue one another.

⁶And this is loue, that wee walke after his Commandements. This is the Commandement, that as yee haue heard from the beginning, yee should walke in it.

⁷For many deceiuers are entred into the world, who confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiuer, and an Antichrist.

⁸Looke to your selues, that wee lose not those things which wee haue wrought, but that we receiue a full reward.

⁹Whosoeuer transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: hee that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.

¹⁰If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not into your house, neither bid him, God speed.

¹¹For hee that biddeth him God speed, is partaker of his euill deeds.

¹²Hauing many things to write vnto you, I would not write with paper and inke, but I trust to come vnto you, and speake face to face, that our ioy may be full.

¹³The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
