[1] The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth, [2] for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: [3] Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ,ⓘ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. [4] I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father. [5] Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. [6] This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. [7] For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist. [8] Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward. [9] Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. [10] If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him, [11] for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds. [12] Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full. [13] The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.

[1] The G3588 elder G4245 unto the elect G1588 lady G2959 and G2532 her G846 children, G5043 whom G3739 I G1473 love G25 in G1722 the truth; G225 and G2532 not G3756 I G1473 only, G3441 but G235 also G2532 all G3956 they G3588 that have known G1097 the G3588 truth; G225 [2] for G1223 the G3588 truth’s sake, G225 which G3588 dwelleth G3306 in G1722 us, G2254 and G2532 shall be G2071 with G3326 us G2257 for G1519 ever. G165 [3] Grace G5485 be G2071 with G3326 you, G5216 mercy, G1656 and peace, G1515 from G3844 God G2316 the Father, G3962 and G2532 from G3844 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 the G3588 Son G5207 of the Father, G3962 in G1722 truth G225 and G2532 love. G26 [4] I rejoiced G5463 greatly G3029 that G3754 I found G2147 of G1537 thy G4675 children G5043 walking G4043 in G1722 truth, G225 as G2531 we have received G2983 a commandment G1785 from G3844 the G3588 Father. G3962 [5] And G2532 now G3568 I beseech G2065 thee, G4571 lady, G2959 not G3756 as though G5613 I wrote G1125 a new G2537 commandment G1785 unto thee, G4671 but G235 that which G3739 we had G2192 from G575 the beginning, G746 that G2443 we love G25 one another. G240 [6] And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 love, G26 that G2443 we walk G4043 after G2596 his G846 commandments. G1785 This G3778 is G2076 the G3588 commandment, G1785 That, G2443 as G2531 ye have heard G191 from G575 the beginning, G746 ye should walk G4043 in G1722 it. G846 [7] For G3754 many G4183 deceivers G4108 are entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 world, G2889 who G3588 confess G3670 not G3361 that G2064 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is come G2064 in G1722 the flesh. G4561 This G3778 is G2076 a G3588 deceiver G4108 and G2532 an G3588 antichrist. G500 [8] Look G991 to yourselves, G1438 that G2443 we lose G622 not G3361 those things which G3739 we have wrought, G2038‡ but G235 that we receive G618 a full G4134 reward. G3408 [9] Whosoever G3956 transgresseth, G3845 and G2532 abideth G3306 not G3361 in G1722 the G3588 doctrine G1322 of Christ, G5547 hath G2192 not G3756 God. G2316 He G3588 that abideth G3306 in G1722 the G3588 doctrine G1322 of Christ, G5547 he G3778 hath G2192 both G2532 the G3588 Father G3962 and G2532 the G3588 Son. G5207 [10] If G1487 there come G2064 any G5100 unto G4314 you, G5209 and G2532 bring G5342 not G3756 this G3778 doctrine, G1322 receive G2983 him G846 not G3361 into G1519 your house, G3614 neither G2532 G3361 bid G3004 him G846 God speed: G5463 [11] for G1063 he G3588 that biddeth G3004 him G846 God speed G5463 is partaker G2841 of his G846 evil G4190 deeds. G2041 [12] Having G2192 many things G4183 to write G1125 unto you, G5213 I would G1014 not G3756 write with G1223 paper G5489 and G2532 ink: G3188 but G235 I trust G1679 to come G2064 unto G4314 you, G5209 and G2532 speak G2980 face G4750 to G4314 face, G4750§ that G2443 our G2257 joy G5479 G5600 may be full. G4137 [13] The G3588 children G5043 of thy G4675 elect G1588 sister G79 greet G782 thee. G4571 Amen. G281
