2 John 1 - William Tyndale New Testament1 ¶ The senior to the elect lady and her children which I love in the truth: And not I only, but also all that have known the truth, 2 for the truth's sake, which remaineth in us, and shall be in us for ever. 3 ¶ With you be grace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ the son of the father, in truth and love. 4 ¶ I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in trough, as we have received a commandment of the father. 5 And now beseech I thee lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that same, which we had from the beginning, that we should love one another. 6 And this is the love, that we should walk after his commandments. ¶ This commandment is (that as ye have heard from the beginning) ye should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, which confess not that Iesus Christ is como in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an Antichrist. 8 Look on yourselves, that we loose not that we have wrought: but that we may have a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth and bideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father, and the son. 10 ¶ If there come any unto you and bring not this learning, him receive not to house: neither bid him God speed. 11 For he that biddeth him God speed, is part taker of his evil deeds. 12 I had many things to write unto you, nevertheless I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak with you mought to mouth, that our joy may be full. 13 The sons of thy elect sister greet thee Amen. |
