63_2JO_01_01 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;

63_2JO_01_02 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

63_2JO_01_03 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.

63_2JO_01_04 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

63_2JO_01_05 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.

63_2JO_01_06 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.

63_2JO_01_07 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.

63_2JO_01_08 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

63_2JO_01_09 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.

63_2JO_01_10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:

63_2JO_01_11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

63_2JO_01_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.

63_2JO_01_13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
