2 John 1 - William Tyndale New Testament

¹ ¶ 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.
