2 John Chapter 1

2Jo 1:1 THE elder to the elect lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth,—and not I alone but also all that know the truth,—
2Jo 1:2 for the sake of the truth, which abides in us, and will be with us forever:
2Jo 1:3 Grace, mercy, peace, shall be with you, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2Jo 1:4 I rejoiced greatly, that I have found of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
2Jo 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2Jo 1:6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandment; and this is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
2Jo 1:7 Because many deceivers went out into the world, who acknowledge not that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist.
2Jo 1:8 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we wrought, but receive a full reward.
2Jo 1:9 Every one who transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
2Jo 1:10 If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed;
2Jo 1:11 for he that bids him good speed shares in his evil deeds.
2Jo 1:12 Having 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.
2Jo 1:13 The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
