2 John 1 — GNB
1Verse 1The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth,—Verse 2for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever.Verse 3Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.Verse 4I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.Verse 5And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.Verse 6And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.Verse 7For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.Verse 8Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.Verse 9Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.Verse 10If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.Verse 11For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.Verse 12Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.Verse 13The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
