Mr. Whiston's Primitive New Testament
1745 by William Whiston

2 John Chapter 1

2Jo 1:1 THE elder unto the elect lady, and her children whom I love in the truth; But not I only, but also all they that have known the truth:
2Jo 1:2 For the truths sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever:
2Jo 1:3 Grace, mercy, peace 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 found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
2Jo 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2Jo 1:6 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.
2Jo 1:7 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.
2Jo 1:8 Look to your selves, that ye lose not those things which ye have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward.
2Jo 1:9 Whosoever goeth before, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the doctrine, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2Jo 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him good speed.
2Jo 1:11 For he that biddeth him good speed, is partaker of his evil deeds.
2Jo 1:12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not do it with paper and ink; but I hope to be with you, and speak mouth to mouth, that your joy may be full.
2Jo 1:13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee.
