2 John Chapter 1

2Jo 1:1 THE elder to the elect Curia and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only but also all who have known the truth,
2Jo 1:2 on account of the truth which continues in you, and shall be with you forever.
2Jo 1:3 Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, shall be with you in truth and love.
2Jo 1:4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I found your children walking in the truth as we received commandment from the Father.
2Jo 1:5 And now I beseech you, Curia, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but [one] which we had from the beginning, that we should love one another.
2Jo 1:6 And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver, and the antichrist.
2Jo 1:8 Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not the labor which you performed, but receive a full reward.
2Jo 1:9 Every one who goes beyond, and continues not in the doctrine of Christ, is without God. He that continues in the doctrine has both the Son and the Father.
2Jo 1:10 If any one comes to you and brings not this doctrine, receive him not into your houses, and salute him not;
2Jo 1:11 for he that salutes him is a partaker of his evil works.
2Jo 1:12 Having many things to write, I do not wish to write with paper and ink, but I hope to be with you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
2Jo 1:13 The children of your elect sister salute you.
